Package: lxc Version: 0.7.5-10 Severity: normal Tags: sid Hi, Sorry for the cruel bug title,
lxc-debconf is not usable to create a new container rootfs in 0.7.5-10 - at least not when installing on Squeeze. 1) cosmetic - does not show usage when called without parameters root@thinkpad:/var/lib/lxc# /usr/lib/lxc/templates/lxc-debconf 'path' parameter is required root@thinkpad:/var/lib/lxc# /usr/lib/lxc/templates/lxc-debconf --help Usage: lxc-debconf --apt-recommends=<true,false>|--debconf-frontend=<debconf- frontend>|--debconf-priority=<debconf-priority>|-d|--distribution=<distribution >|--preseed-file=<preseed-file>|-h|--help -p|--path=<path> --clean 2) cannot determine _INCLUDE root@thinkpad:/var/lib/lxc# /usr/lib/lxc/templates/lxc-debconf -p /var/lib/lxc/squeeze Checking cache download in /var/cache/lxc//_i386... Downloading minimal system... E: unrecognized or invalid option --include= Failed to download the rootfs, aborting. Failed to download base system failed to install system A look into the skript showed, that the _MODE is determined via the script's name - but is not called lxc-debian anymore, but lxc-debconf. I temporarily fixed this with creating a link but: 3) still not able to create, cannot determine suite root@thinkpad:/var/lib/lxc# ln -s lxc-debconf /usr/lib/lxc/templates/lxc-debian root@thinkpad:/var/lib/lxc# /usr/lib/lxc/templates/lxc-debian -p /var/lib/lxc/squeeze Checking cache download in /var/cache/lxc/debian/_i386... Downloading minimal system... I: usage: [OPTION]... <suite> <target> [<mirror> [<script>]] I: Try `debootstrap --help' for more information. E: You must specify a suite and a target. Failed to download the rootfs, aborting. Failed to download base system failed to install system 4) Is it possible to keep the upstream lxc-debian (and mark it as a fallback in README)? From other bug conversation, I've noted that you won't like to waste time to fix things for stable. That's not good news for stable users, but somehow understandable - retaining lxc-debian from upstream should be suffucient for all stable users. You can still go on and develop lxc-debconf. 5) I know, that best progress in hot development phases is done, when no one else interferes. But is it possible to share the debian package code via git? I guess you use one interally... Thanks for your wok bringen lxc forward in debian.
