Package: debootstrap Version: 1.0.123 Tags: patch Attached is a minimalistic patch to implement what I would need for better logging when automatically creating chroot environments. It preserves the behavior of other output options to have the I:/W:/etc. info on stdout and puts everything else on stderr. I only did relatively limited testing, but this seems to achieve exactly what I want. A better solution would be to _also_ log everything to debootstrap.log, I think, but I found no reasonable way to do that.

Description: Allow stderr to be passed to the caller This change allows the caller of debootstrap to request that stderr is passed to it instead of being swallowed into debootstrap.log Author: Sven Mueller <sven.muelle...@gmail.com> Forwarded: no Last-Update: 2020-10-02 --- This patch header follows DEP-3: http://dep.debian.net/deps/dep3/ Index: debootstrap-1.0.123/debootstrap =================================================================== --- debootstrap-1.0.123.orig/debootstrap +++ debootstrap-1.0.123/debootstrap @@ -42,6 +42,7 @@ UNPACK_TARBALL="" ADDITIONAL="" EXCLUDE="" VERBOSE="" +FULL_OUTPUT="" CERTIFICATE="" CHECKCERTIF="" PRIVATEKEY="" @@ -91,6 +92,8 @@ usage() --help display this help and exit --version display version information and exit --verbose don't turn off the output of wget + --full-output show full process output on stderr, I:/W: info + on stdout. --download-only download packages, but don't perform installation --print-debs print the packages to be installed, and exit @@ -310,6 +313,11 @@ if [ $# != 0 ] ; then VERBOSE=true export VERBOSE shift 1 + ;; + --full-output) + FULL_OUTPUT="yes" + export FULL_OUTPUT + shift 1 ;; --extra-suites|--extra-suites=?*) if [ "$1" = "--extra-suites" ] && [ -n "$2" ]; then @@ -618,6 +626,11 @@ elif am_doing_phase printdebs; then # stderr: I:/W:/etc information # stdout: debs needed exec 4>&2 +elif [ "$FULL_OUTPUT" = yes ]; then + # stdout: I:/W:/etc information + # stderr: full log of debootstrap run (stdout/stderr combined) + exec 4>&1 + exec >&2 else # stderr: used in exceptional circumstances only # stdout: I:/W:/etc information
