#31996: Consider using mmdebstrap instead of debootstrap ------------------------------------------+---------------------- Reporter: boklm | Owner: tbb-team Type: task | Status: new Priority: Medium | Milestone: Component: Applications/Tor Browser | Version: Severity: Normal | Keywords: tbb-rbm Actual Points: | Parent ID: Points: | Reviewer: Sponsor: | ------------------------------------------+---------------------- We are currently using debootstrap to generate our Debian images. We might want to switch to mmdebstrap: https://gitlab.mister-muffin.de/josch/mmdebstrap
It seems using mmdebstrap would make the creation of chroots faster (because of using apt directly, and because security updates do not need to be installed in a separate step). Although we only create one base chroot tarball for each Debian release, so this wouldn't make a significant difference in overall build time. An other interesting feature is support for Linux user namespaces, allowing the creation of chroot tarball without root access, which could help for #23631. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/31996> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online
