Package: makejail
Version: 0.0.5-7
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

I'm missing an option to copy files from outside the chroot to a
different location inside the chroot.

Say I want to make a jail for apache. 'makejail apache.py' will then
see an access to /etc/apache/httpd.conf and copy that file into the
chroot. Using just that mechanism means that I have apache running
outside and inside the jail with identical config. The same happens if
I specify 'forceCopy=["/etc/apache/httpd.conf"]'. More usefull would
be if one could copy a different file so that thet jailed apache has a
specialized configuration.

I'm suggesting the following:

       forceCopyTo When initializing the jail, copy the files matching
                   these patterns to the specified destination
                   according to the rules used by the Unix shell.

                   No tilde expansion is done, but *, ?, and character
                   ranges expressed with [] will be correctly matched. 
                   If a destination ends in / specifies a directory
                   and the source file(s) are copied there under their
                   original name. If the source pattern matches
                   multiple files then the destination must end in /.

                   Format: [["src1", "dest1"],["src2", "dest2"]]

                   Default: []
