I stayed tuned and I saw that mmdebstrap/1.4.0-1 ships a
mmdebstrap-autopkgtest-build-qemu that does not require superuser
privileges (according to its man page).
Do I understand correctly that this new script is one of the building
blocks that can make the above-summarized "daydream" come true?
Could you please give me a status update on the "daydream"?
Looking forward to hearing back from you.
Thanks for all the good stuff!
Hello again,
a gentle ping about the above-quoted daydream.
Has anyone received my message?
Could someone please reply?
Thanks a lot for your time and patience.
Well.. thanks a lot for *your* patience! Sorry for letting you hang for
this long. ππΌππ½ββοΈ And thank you for the ping -- I often loose track of
projects that I'm involved in.
So... mmdebstrap-autopkgtest-build-qemu might be what you want *if* you
don't care about ppc64el or mips. The latter was (I think) never
supported my autopkgtest-qemu because there is no good option for a
bootloader. In case of ppc64el, there is ieee1275 booting but that is
not supported by mmdebstrap-autopkgtest-build-qemu.
Could you give mmdebstrap-autopkgtest-build-qemu a try and see if it
does what you want? I'm preparing another mmdebstrap release and if you
find any issues with that script I can incorporate fixes in the next
release.
Thanks!
cheers, josch
