multistrap wrapper for building basic preconfigured rootfs



Hello Mailinglist,

I like to announce the version 0.2 of my multistrap wrapper initally introduced with:
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.debian.devel.embedded/5984

http://gitorious.org/dockstar/emdebian-multistrap/trees/v0.2
v0.2 - refactor release
=======================
- use GNU Make instead of shell scripts
- qemu target for testing (make qemutest_wheezy_config,make ext2image,make qemu_launch)
- generic multistrap template (wheezy,sid)
- help for building local Debian/EmdebianGrip repos/mirrors
  (http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.debian.devel.embedded/6053

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.debian.devel.embedded/6075/focus=6077
   http://wiki.debian.org/Multistrap/PartialMirrors)
- userland config and machine specifics may be applied independantly (e.g. test userland config in qemu)


The purpose of this mini project is to create Debian RootFileSystems (similar to Rootstock for ubuntu) with a basic preconfiguration. This is very much the same than debian-live. Unfortunatly, debian live is (currently) not able to build armel rootfs on an amd64 host (multistrap is listed on rfc page for debian live: http://live.debian.net/devel/rfc/).

This Makefile-set fills this gap. The middle term goal should be the usage of debian-live once it is able to cross "build".

Kind regards,
Marcus
