Have you looked at mmdebstrap instead of debootstrap? From the package description - "Downloads, unpacks and installs Debian packages to either directly create a directory which can be chrooted into, or a tarball of it. In contrast to debootstrap it uses apt, supports more than one mirror, automatically uses security and updates mirrors for Debian stable chroots, is 3-6 times faster, produces smaller output by removing unnecessary cruft, is bit-by-bit reproducible if $SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is set, allows unprivileged operation using Linux user namespaces, fakechroot or proot and can setup foreign architecture chroots using qemu-user." I switched to it for my last Devuan Chimaera install, I previously used debootstrap for my installs. -- A big old stinking pile of genius that no one wants coz there are too many silver coated monkeys in the world. _______________________________________________ Toybox mailing list Toybox@lists.landley.net http://lists.landley.net/listinfo.cgi/toybox-landley.net
