Version: 1.0.115
Hi everyone,
I’m appalled that this feature request is still open…
I’ve got a need to do this without patching debootstrap, and have had
success (although I did not time it, but someone else can ;-) with this
sequence of commands (assuming dpkg-deb is available ― which my script
checks earlier):
safe_PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin
# […]
case $TERM in

'Maybe run this script in GNU screen?' ;;

eatmydata debootstrap --arch=arm64 --include=eatmydata --no-merged-usr \
--force-check-gpg --verbose --foreign buster "$mpt" \
http://deb.debian.org/debian sid
# script specified here as it’s normally what buster symlinks to,
# to achieve compatibility with more host distros

(
set -e
cd "$mpt"
for archive in var/cache/apt/archives/*eatmydata*.deb; do
dpkg-deb --fsys-tarfile "$archive" >a
tar -xkf a
done
rm -f a
) || die 'failure extracting eatmydata early'
# the user can delete this later, from the booted system (or apt will)
cp /usr/bin/qemu-aarch64-static "$mpt/usr/bin/" || die 'cp failed'
echo >&2 'I: second stage bootstrap (under emulation), slooow…'
mount -t tmpfs swap "$mpt/dev/shm" || die 'mount /dev/shm failed'
mount -t proc proc "$mpt/proc" || die 'mount /proc failed'
mount -t tmpfs swap "$mpt/tmp" || die 'mount /tmp failed'
chroot "$mpt" /usr/bin/env -i LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 HOME=/root PATH="$safe_PATH" \
TERM="$TERM" /usr/bin/eatmydata /debootstrap/debootstrap --second-stage || \
die 'debootstrap (second stage) failed'
Of course, “success” here means it does not error out… ☻ (also, as it’s
run under emulation it’s very slooow anyway…)
bye,
