Package: debootstrap Version: 1.0.72 Severity: wishlist User: [email protected] Usertags: origin-kali
Most debootstrap wrappers allow you to inject arbitrary options and let you customize the target suite and the mirror. But very few let you specify the "script" parameter (the specific wrapper that is causing me problem right now is live-build 5.x). I would thus suggest to offer named options for all optional positional parameters... so that we can rely on the fact that we can inject arbitrary options to compensate. Note that cdebootstrap already made such a choice, since it does not have a script positional argument but a --suite-config option. So maybe it would make sense for debootstrap to have --suite-config=foo actually run /usr/share/debootstrapt/scripts/foo and that way you would (partly) solve #742672 too. And --mirror=url too although it's ok if you don't want this option. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.1.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.utf8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages debootstrap depends on: ii wget 1.16.3-3 Versions of packages debootstrap recommends: ii debian-archive-keyring 2014.3 ii gnupg 1.4.19-5 debootstrap suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
