ts! I didn't know that until just now, hence my previous insistence on runniong bootstrap-vz in a ec2 environment. This is definitely something we could support in bootstrap-vz. p.s.: Explicitly CC'ed Tiago and James to get their attention and input on this, though maybe it should be in another thread -- Anders Ingemann

Otherwise they should be named "Debian based" too. Isn't that what we have GPG package signatures for? In the end, the real showstopper would be the installation of public keys that are not controlled by Debian. As long as I know that the only keys software is verified with are official Debian ones I couldn't care less where I get my "data" from - or at least that's how I think it should be, I am not pretending to know the official stance on this. -- Anders Ingemann

les which checksums vary, it would be good to provide their list and an explanation on why they vary, although it is not a stict requirement. Remember logfiles, they have the same problem with timestamps. Though tbh we do our best with bootstrap-vz to not leave anything behind from the bootstrapping process, so it shouldn't be a problem. > - the content of the files created may differ; I think you mean "may *not* differ"...? -- Anders Ingemann

Re: Timeline for official Debian cloud images for the Stretch release

t it would be a great idea to create a wikipage where all those deviations from standard debootstrap are documented! Luckily the architecture of bootstrap-vz works in a way where you have small tasks that do one thing only (with descriptions to boot!). When running `./bootstrap-vz --dry-run manifests/official/ec2/ebs-jessie-amd64-hvm.yml --log - --debug`, you get this <https://gist.github.com/andsens/30ba30882e7098fd8c9c20ce13d3161e>. You can almost take that log and convert it into a document, it contains the full list of changes to an image :-) -- Anders Ingemann
