Package: debootstrap Version: 1.0.127 Severity: wishlist X-Debbugs-Cc: reproducible-bui...@lists.alioth.debian.org
Dear Maintainer,
using debootstrap 1.0.127 it's possible to reproducible bootstrap Debian,
provided one does three extra steps:
1. rm /var/log/dpkg.log /var/log/alternatives.log /var/log/bootstrap.log
2. rm /etc/machine-id /var/cache/ldconfig/aux-cache
3. SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH=$some_sane_value ; sudo tar --mtime="@$SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH"
--clamp-mtime $SUITE -cf $SUITE.tar
This bug is about the first step. It would be really nice if debootstrap
had an option called --cleanup-logs which would delete those logs.
Step 2 (or rather it's first part) is tracked via #1018740: "debootstrap:
better initialisation of /etc/machine-id".
Step 3 would be another new feature for debootstrap, namely to create tar
archives.
Thanks for maintaining debootstrap!

cheers,
Holger
