hi, Thanks alot Carsten, We are serving some commercial software via password protected ftp and can't give it away - so there are several "policies" involved ;)
Thoughts about mirroring them via http are emerging ;) But that will take some time. The questions is: When I use /etc/environment or /etc/bash.bashrc to export environment-variables INSIDE the chroot they are not always respected when using $ROOTCMD or using install_packages. What would be the right place to put these? How to set up an environment variable that will be used by install_packages? Or how to modify the install_packages' $root_cmd without editing the script itself? if there is no other way. Regards!
