Preparing NMU of debootstrap fot s390 boot-floppies
Hi!
debootstrap needs some changes for the s390 boot-floppies:
- the list of base and required packages should be adjusted, e.g. we are
using kernel 2.4 and thus iptables is preferred over ipchains and we don't
need the PPP packages
- s390 is using devfs, so extracting devices.tar.gz is not a good solution
(and these devices are i386-specific, anyway). I'll add devfs support which
mounts devfs in $TARGET if it's mounted on the system that calls debootstrap
and /usr/lib/debootstrap/devices.tar.gz is not present.
Does anybody object to an NMU after further testing the patch on s390?
