Bug#445157: debootstrap - hardcoded value of TARGET in second-stage prevents creation of a foreign chroot
Package: debootstrap
Version: 1.0.3
Severity: wishlist
Emdebian is building a root filesystem that is created using debootstrap
using the --foreign option. This is then copied to an embedded device
for testing. Unfortunately, debootstrap --second-stage assumes that the
TARGET is / which is awkward when what I actually want is to test the
root filesystem (and the installation process itself) in a chroot first.
So far, I've just tweaked debootstrap:
- TARGET=/
+ TARGET=$TARGET
so that I can pass TARGET on the command line.
Is there a cleaner way of achieving the same result, maybe debootstrap
could support / as a default and allow an override on the command line?
