--- Begin Message ---Package: debootstrap Version: 1.0.81 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch This patch, suitable for application via "git am", will be used as part of the xfstests-bld infrastructure. (See http://thunk.org/gce-xfstests for more info). I'll be using a modified copy of this script for now, but it would be nice if in the future I don't have to copy and hack /usr/share/debootstrap/scripts/sid. Thanks!! - Ted >From 3386b48cd06863a37dd60188c164c41e7cadd6e0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Theodore Ts'o <[email protected]> Date: Sat, 4 Jun 2016 18:29:27 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Allow the package list to be customized via environment variables Over half of the supported variants (minbase, fakechroot, build) are there to allow the caller of debootstrap to customize the packages to be installed in the constructed system. Furthermore, the only way to add a new variant is to copy and then edit the deboostrap SCRIPT, which is not a very maintainable way to interact with the debootstrap infrastructure as new distributions are released which may require modifications to the script. So allow the caller of debootstrap to control which packages will be used in the creation of the bootstrapped system via the environment variables DEBOOTSTRAP_BASE_PKGS and DEBOOTSTRAP_ADD_PKGS.
