'cow-shell' command invokes a shell session. Within that session, under the directory cow-shell was invoked, cowdancer will create a new file when existing i-nodes are opened for write. Useful for quick scratch workspace and experimentation. . For a useful Debian tool, try cowbuilder. Homepage: https://www.netfort.gr.jp/~dancer/software/cowdancer.html Package: cowbuilder Architecture: any Depends: cowdancer, pbuilder, ${misc:Depends}, ${shlibs:Depends}, Replaces: cowdancer (<= 0.49), Description: pbuilder running on cowdancer 'cowbuilder' command is a wrapper for pbuilder which allows using pbuilder-like interface over cowdancer environment. . pbuilder is a tool for building and testing Debian package inside a clean chroot, and cowbuilder allows chroot to be recreated using hard-linked copies with copy-on-write, which makes creation and destruction of chroots fast. Package: qemubuilder Architecture: linux-any Depends: debootstrap, e2fsprogs, pbuilder, qemu-system | kvm, ${misc:Depends}, ${shlibs:Depends}, Description: pbuilder using QEMU as backend pbuilder implementation for QEMU. . qemubuilder create -- builds QEMU cow base image. . qemubuilder update -- updates QEMU cow base image. . qemubuilder build -- builds package inside QEMU cow base image. . Gives a pbuilder interface for emulated cross-building environments using qemu. . pbuilder is a tool for building and testing Debian package inside a clean chroot, and qemubuilder implements similar experience over emulated CPUs. This tool allows building package inside emulated Debian environment for different CPU architectures supported by qemu. Homepage: https://wiki.debian.org/qemubuilder
