Yes, I am successfully using hooks now. I migrated our custom in-house build script from using debootstrap to use mmdebstrap using custom hooks. So the hooks are useful and work. They are easy enough to use. I thought about alternatives, but found nothing better. One hook is missing: A clean hook that is run after the cleanup, which would be run at last step of the setup function. I have only one issue related to the hooks: There is no easy, safe, and reliable way to copy stuff out of the image to an existing directory. Use case: copy the kernel+initrd out of the image for PXE booting. -- Benjamin Drung Debian & Ubuntu Developer Platform Engineering Compute (Enterprise Cloud) 1&1 IONOS SE | Greifswalder Str. 207 | 10405 Berlin | Germany E-mail: [email protected] | Web: www.ionos.de Hauptsitz Montabaur, Amtsgericht Montabaur, HRB 24498 Vorstand: Dr. Christian Böing, Hüseyin Dogan, Hans-Henning Kettler, Matthias Steinberg, Achim Weiß Aufsichtsratsvorsitzender: Markus Kadelke Member of United Internet
