live-debconfig in wheezy-backports
Hi,
as described in bug#680469 [1] the wheezy lxc debian template requires debian
containers to have the live-debconfig package installable. Wheezy doesnt
include live-debconfig so one must use a workaround (involving manually
downloading a live-debconfig *.deb file from jessie or newer) to create a
wheezy container if one doesnt want to use 3rd party templates.
If live-debconfig was at least in wheezy-backports, then it would be possible
to create wheezy containers using the template from the lxc package without
having to resort to manually downloading a live-debconfig *.deb file.
You can find my rebuild of the arch:all live-debconfig source packages on
mentors here [2].
CC'ing the lxc and live-debconfig maintainers for comments and corrections.
Would it make sense and be possible to have the live-debconfig package in
wheezy-backports?
I hope I didnt forget anything :)
cheers, josch
