I thought about it. We should handle security.ubuntu.com separately. It might be useful to use resolute-security from the mirror that you specified and have security.ubuntu.com as fallback. So ``` mmdebstrap --suites="%s %s-updates %s-security" resolute resolute.tar http://my.mirror.example/ubuntu ``` would create: ``` deb [signed-by="/usr/share/keyrings/ubuntu-archive-keyring.gpg"] http://my.mirror.example/ubuntu resolute main deb [signed-by="/usr/share/keyrings/ubuntu-archive-keyring.gpg"] http://my.mirror.example/ubuntu resolute-updates main deb [signed-by="/usr/share/keyrings/ubuntu-archive-keyring.gpg"] http://my.mirror.example/ubuntu resolute-security main deb [signed-by="/usr/share/keyrings/ubuntu-archive-keyring.gpg"] http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu resolute-security main ``` What do you think? -- Benjamin Drung Debian & Ubuntu Developer
