<h1>Introduction<a class="headerlink" href="#introduction" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h1>
<p><strong>mini-buildd</strong> is a custom build daemon for <em>Debian</em>-based
distributions with <em>all batteries included</em>: I.e., it covers
<strong>incoming</strong>, <strong>(distributed) building</strong>, <strong>installing</strong>,
<strong>repository maintenance</strong> and <strong>repository delivery</strong>.</p>

<p>mini-buildd does not re-invent the wheel, it&#8217;s rather a
sophisticated glue written in <a class="reference external" href="http://packages.qa.debian.org/p/python.html">python</a> to a number of
standard (Debian) or off-the-shelf software components. The most
prominent parts are:</p>

<span id="introduction-overview"></span><h2>Basic Mode Of Operation<a class="headerlink" href="#basic-mode-of-operation" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p><strong>mini-buildd</strong> is a Unix daemon written in python. When
running, it provides a HTTP server (on port <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">8066</span></tt> by default).</p>
<p>The HTTP server serves both, mini-buildd&#8217;s web application as
well as the delivery of the package repositories.</p>
<p>The instance is being configured in the configuration section of
the web application.</p>
<p>As soon as a <em>mini-buildd</em> instance has been configured to have
an active &#8216;Daemon&#8217;, you may <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">start</span></tt> the engine, running an FTP
server (on port <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">8067</span></tt> by default).</p>
<p>The FTP server acts on incoming <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">*.changes</span></tt> files, both from
developers and other mini-buildd instances (via special
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">buildrequest</span></tt> and <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">buildresult</span></tt> changes).</p>
<p>As soon as an instance of <em>mini-buildd</em> has active chroots
configured, it acts as <em>builder</em>. Chroots are completely generic
and interchangeable, and identified by <em>codename</em> and <em>arch</em>
only; distribution-specific build configuration is all carried
through the internal buildrequests. Thus, <em>mini-buildd</em>
instances may be interconnected as so-called &#8216;Remotes&#8217; to share
builders.</p>
<p>This is a simplified example mini-buildd &#8216;network&#8217; with three
mini-buildd instances <em>ernie</em>, <em>grover</em> and <em>bert</em>:</p>
