I was investigating using multistrap, but it has been orphaned.
mmdebstrap apparently has the desired features of multistrap but is
available only in Buster.
I do not have the available bandwidth to install Buster.
In Stretch perl is 5.24.1-3+deb9u5 but is 5.28.1-6 in Buster.
Is it feasible to run under Stretch? How?
mmdebstrap has no tight dependencies so you should be able to simply
install the Buster package in Stretch and try use it.
Today == *rain* Tomorrow = holiday Should have lots of time ;/
Just make sure to mention clearly in eventual bugreports if you are
using the package outside its officially target suite.
In any case, typically PEBKAC > bugs
There are known limitations esp. when running under fake(ch)root, but I
think that is well documented in the man page.
That is one of the things I wanted to check out. As I read the
limitations, they should be fairly simple to remedy.
Thanks
mmdebstrap is great!
