-# This script is fed to pbuilder to build Debian packages. The base tarball
-# should be created with a command similar to the following:
-#
-#   sudo pbuilder create --basetgz pbuilder-arsse.tgz --mirror http://ftp.ca.debian.org/debian/ --extrapackages "debhelper devscripts lintian"
-#
-# Thereafter pbuilder can be used to build packages with this command:
-#
-#   sudo pbuilder execute --basetgz pbuilder-arsse.tgz --bindmounts `basedir "/path/to/release/tarball"` -- pbuilder.sh "/path/to/release/tarball"
-#
-# This somewhat roundabout procedure is used because the pbuilder debuild
-# command does not seem to work in Arch Linux, nor does pdebuild. Doing
-# as much as possible within the chroot itself works around these problems.
