Here's what we use, to generate a rootfs based on grip, and taking
some packages from our local repository with a fallback to Debian for
missing dependencies. And all the sources get This is exceedingly cool:
fakeroot /usr/sbin/em_multistrap -a $(ARCHNAME) -d $(BUILD)
-f multistrap-balloon-sl40.conf --tidy-up --source-dir $(BUILD)/sources/packages
and multistrap-balloon-sl40.conf looks like:
[General]
# arch and directory are overridden.
arch=arm
directory=/opt/multistrap/
# same as --tidy-up option if set to true
cleanup=true
# retain the sources outside the rootfs for distribution
# specify a directory to which all the .debs can be moved.
# or override with the --source-dir option.
retainsources=
# same as --no-auth option if set to true
# keyring packages listed in each debootstrap will
# still be installed.
noauth=true
# retries not needed.
#retries=5
# extract all downloaded archives
unpack=true
# the order of sections is no longer important.
# debootstrap determines which repository is used to
# calculate the list of Priority: required packages
debootstrap=Grip
# the order of sections is no longer important.
# aptsources is a list of sections to be listed
# in the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/multistrap.sources.list
# of the target.
