This isn't an acceptable solution within multistrap as it interferes with the architecture neutrality. Instead, the rootfs config script can call or create a suitable setup conditionally, according to the config itself. The patch is particularly bad because it does not constrain the effects of the patch to the optional native usage of multistrap. The patch doesn't even take into account that most multistrap configurations do not even install daemons, so it is imposing a default to cope with an option of the optional native support. That is not a good approach. Removing the patch tag. In current SVN, there is a chroot.sh script which can be used inside such a config script which is intended to handle these situations. This will be going into 2.1.8, aimed at experimental. The default in multistrap is to handle all packages with the expectation that the packages are a foreign architecture. Changes which are solely for native chroots must not interfere with the default foreign behaviour. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/ http://e-mail.is-not-s.ms/
