Package: lxc Version: 0.7.2-1 Severity: normal Tags: patch /usr/lib/lxc/templates/lxc-debian hard-codes the distribution (lenny) and mirror (http://ftp.debian.org/debian), with no way to override it.
since it's probably typically called from lxc-create, and lxc-create doesn't yet provide a mechanism to pass additional information, if it could at least use variables and get the defaults from a file from /etc, that would be great: Index: lxc-0.7.2/templates/lxc-debian.in =================================================================== --- lxc-0.7.2.orig/templates/lxc-debian.in 2010-10-25 14:57:19.000000000 -0700 +++ lxc-0.7.2/templates/lxc-debian.in 2010-10-25 15:01:23.000000000 -0700 @@ -110,7 +110,7 @@ echo "Downloading debian minimal ..." debootstrap --verbose --variant=minbase --arch=$arch \ --include $packages \ - lenny $cache/partial-$arch http://ftp.debian.org/debian + ${DEBIAN_DIST:-"lenny"} $cache/partial-$arch ${DEBIAN_MIRROR:-"http://ftp.debian.org/debian"} if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then echo "Failed to download the rootfs, aborting." return 1 @@ -256,6 +256,10 @@ fi eval set -- "$options" +if [ -f /etc/lxc/debian.conf ]; then + . /etc/lxc/debian.conf +fi + while true do case "$1" in live well, vagrant -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (102, 'unstable'), (101, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages lxc depends on: ii libc6 2.11.2-6+squeeze1 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libcap2 1:2.19-3 support for getting/setting POSIX.
