Subject: multistrap: add clarify documentation Package: multistrap Version: 2.1.3 Severity: wishlist
*** Please type your report below this line *** As requested in the mailing list: Thanks, but please include the version of multistrap used. (This is just one reason why bug reports are better than mailing list posts - the version is included automatically.) My tests will be done with multistrap 2.1.3 from Debian experimental and fixes will go into multistrap 2.1.4, also heading into experimental. (Things need to settle a bit more before I disturb 2.0.9 in unstable.) > than the old emsandbox I used before. > > A few points I have: > - udev in grip squeeze (151-3em1) does not detect mtbblockx devices, (Seems to work on my Grip box... Have you tested the x86 package at the same version? If so, have you reported a bug against the Debian package?) > I replaced the udevd executables with an older version from another > embedded distro and it worked as expected. Thus I tried this: > [General] > arch=armel > directory=rootfs_unconfigured > cleanup=true > noauth=true > unpack=true > debootstrap=Grip > aptsources=GripSqueeze GripLenny Debian Problem 1: bootstrap is for packages that you use to build the rootfs. aptsources is for the sources you want listed inside the rootfs for runtime. You won't get packages from GripLenny or Debian included in the initial rootfs unless you list those sections in debootstrap. (That option will be renamed to bootstrap or rootfs in future, support will be retained for the existing setting but I'll see about changing the docs for clarity.) The distinction probably wasn't clear in the early versions of multistrap. Please file a minor/wishlist bug so that I don't forget to add / clarify the documentation. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers proposed-updates APT policy: (500, 'proposed-updates'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages multistrap depends on: ii apt 0.7.20.2+lenny1 Advanced front-end for dpkg ii libconfig-auto-perl 0.20-2 Magical config file parser ii libparse-debian-packages 0.01-1 parse the data from a debian Packa ii perl 5.10.1-12 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii realpath 1.12 Return the canonicalized absolute Versions of packages multistrap recommends: ii emdebian-archive-keyring 2.0.1 GnuPG archive keys for the emdebia multistrap suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
