Bug#444256: live-helper: Please allow multiple mirrors
Package: live-helper
Version: 1.0~a29-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
I'm using live-helper to create filesystems for machines which are hard
to maintain directly. These are dedicated machines, which only have one
purpose. What I always need, is a minimal Debian system plus one or two
extra packages (plus dependencies). For this purpose, I need to give
live-helper two mirrors; one Debian mirror and one mirror on my machine
(which isn't really a "mirror", but contains my own packages).
I've attached a patch which implements this feature. It allows using
--mirror-{bootstrap,binary} multiple times. It uses array variables to
accomplish this, and I'm not sure if that may be a bash-only feature.
Thanks,
Bas
