Summary : Execute commands in a chroot environment
URL : http://packages.debian.org/schroot
License : GPLv3+
Description : schroot allows users to execute commands or interactive shells in
: different chroots. Any number of named chroots may be created, and
: access permissions given to each, including root access for normal
: users, on a per-user or per-group basis. Additionally, schroot can
: switch to a different user in the chroot, using PAM for
: authentication and authorisation. All operations are logged for
: security.
:
: Several different types of chroot are supported, including normal
: directories in the filesystem, and also block devices. Sessions,
: persistent chroots created on the fly from files (tar with optional
: compression and zip) and LVM snapshots are also supported.
:
: schroot supports kernel personalities, allowing the programs run
: inside the chroot to have a different personality. For example,
: running 32-bit chroots on 64-bit systems, or even running binaries
: from alternative operating systems such as SVR4 or Xenix.
:
: schroot also integrates with sbuild, to allow building packages with
: all supported chroot types, including session-managed chroot types
: such as LVM snapshots.
:
: schroot shares most of its options with dchroot, but offers vastly
: more functionality.
