Package: rootstrap Version: 0.3.24-5 Severity: wishlist Hi!
Currently, we can only rootstrap the current arch. It would be nice to be able to rootstrap another architecture. Since UML is running with the current distribution, we cannot use arbitrary arch, but with an amd64 distribution, we should be able to rootstrap a 32bit one. In modules/debian, we could add: if test -n "$arch"; then opts="$opts --arch=$arch" fi I think this would do the trick. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.29-1-amd64 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.utf8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages rootstrap depends on: ii debootstrap 1.0.13 Bootstrap a basic Debian system ii dpkg 1.15.2 Debian package management system ii python 2.5.4-2 An interactive high-level object-o ii user-mode-linux 2.6.26-1um-2+15 User-mode Linux (kernel) Versions of packages rootstrap recommends: ii uml-utilities 20070815-1.1 User-mode Linux (utility programs) Versions of packages rootstrap suggests: ii dhcp3-client 3.1.2-1 DHCP client ii dhcp3-server 3.1.2-1 DHCP server for automatic IP addre -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
