* Package name : mmdebstrap Version : 0.1.0 Upstream Author : Johannes 'josch' Schauer <jo...@debian.org> * URL : https://gitlab.mister-muffin.de/josch/mmdebstrap * License : Expat Programming Lang: Perl Description : creates a Debian chroot directory or tarball An alternative to debootstrap which uses apt internally and is thus able to use more than one mirror and resolve more complex dependencies. A list of advantages in contrast to debootstrap: - more than one mirror possible (or really anything that is a legal apt sources.list entry) - security and updates mirror included for Debian stable chroots (a wontfix for debootstrap) - 2-3 times faster (for debootstrap variants) - chroot with apt in 11 seconds (if only installing `Essential: yes` and apt) - gzipped tarball with apt is 27M small - bit-by-bit reproducible output (if `$SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH` is set) - unprivileged operation using Linux user namespaces, fakechroot or proot (mode is chosen automatically) - can operate on filesystems mounted with nodev - foreign architecture chroots with qemu-user (without manually invoking `--second-stage`)
