Package: rootstrap
Version: 0.3.23-1
Severity: minor
Hi,
rootstrap(1) mentions an 'umlargs' option in rootstrap.conf while
describing the -u / --umlargs option, but 'umlargs' is neither described
in rootstrap(1) nor in /etc/rootstrap/rootstrap.conf. It seems to belong
to the [global] section.
I needed this option to increase the memory for the rootstrap uml
instance because locale-gen died with oom using a default of 32 MB.
So I'd suggest either adding an example using the mem option to the
default rootstrap.conf (umlargs=mem=128m did work for me, 64m was still
not enough for locale-gen) or even introducing a [global]mem=... or
[global]umlmem=... option that would allow setting the memory to use
(only while rootstrapping, the user may choose whatever he likes when he
uses the image file) independently of umlargs=
There is also a superfluous '<' in /etc/rootstrap/rootstrap.conf
line 107:
#<purge=...
