Package: debootstrap Version: 1.0.127 Severity: wishlist X-Debbugs-Cc: reproducible-builds@lists.alioth.debian.org Dear Maintainer, using debootstrap 1.0.127 it's possible to reproducible bootstrap Debian, provided one does three extra steps: 1. rm /var/log/dpkg.log /var/log/alternatives.log /var/log/bootstrap.log 2. rm /etc/machine-id /var/cache/ldconfig/aux-cache 3. SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH=$some_sane_value ; sudo tar --mtime="@$SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH" --clamp-mtime $SUITE -cf $SUITE.tar This bug is about the first step. It would be really nice if debootstrap had an option called --cleanup-logs which would delete those logs. Step 2 (or rather it's first part) is tracked via #1018740: "debootstrap: better initialisation of /etc/machine-id". Step 3 would be another new feature for debootstrap, namely to create tar archives. Thanks for maintaining debootstrap! -- cheers, Holger ⢀⣴⠾⠻⢶⣦⠀ ⣾⠁⢠⠒⠀⣿⡁ holger@(debian|reproducible-builds|layer-acht).org ⢿⡄⠘⠷⠚⠋⠀ OpenPGP: B8BF54137B09D35CF026FE9D 091AB856069AAA1C ⠈⠳⣄ "I know what you're thinking" used to be an idiom but now it's a business model.
