# To better refer to each individual part, we give each process a new

# executing fork() we call the parent and child B and C, respectively. This
# first fork() is done because we do not want to modify A. B then remains
# waiting for its child C to finish. C calls fork() again, splitting into
# the parent D and its child E. In the parent D we call unshare() and close a
# pipe shared by D and E to signal to E that D is done with calling unshare().
# E notices this by using read() and follows up with executing the tools
# new[ug]idmap on D. E finishes and D continues with doing another fork().
# This is because when unsharing the PID namespace, we need a PID 1 to be kept
# alive or otherwise any child processes cannot fork() anymore themselves. So

=head1 NAME

mmdebstrap - multi-mirror Debian chroot creation

=head1 SYNOPSIS

B<mmdebstrap> [B<OPTION...>] [I<SUITE> [I<TARGET> [I<MIRROR>...]]]

=head1 DESCRIPTION

B<mmdebstrap> creates a Debian chroot of I<SUITE> into I<TARGET> from one or
more I<MIRROR>s. It is meant as an alternative to the debootstrap tool (see
section B<DEBOOTSTRAP>). In contrast to debootstrap it uses apt to resolve
dependencies and is thus able to use more than one mirror and resolve more
complex dependencies.

If no I<MIRROR> option is provided, http://deb.debian.org/debian is used,
except if data was given on standard input in which case the lines read from
there are used as the content of the chroot's sources.list file. If
I<SUITE> is a stable release name, then mirrors for updates and security are
automatically added. If a I<MIRROR> option starts with "deb " or "deb-src "
then it is used as a one-line-style format entry for apt's sources.list inside
the chroot.  If a I<MIRROR> option contains a "://" then it is interpreted as
a mirror URI and the apt line inside the chroot is assembled as "deb [arch=A]
B C D" where A is the host's native architecture, B is the I<MIRROR>, C is the
given I<SUITE> and D is the components given via --components (defaults to
"main"). If a I<MIRROR> option happens to be an existing file, then its
contents are pasted into the chroot's sources.list.  This can be used to
supply a deb822 style sources.list. If I<MIRROR> is C<-> then standard input
is pasted into the chroot's sources.list. If there was data on standard input
but no C<-> mirror was listed, the lines read from standard input will be
appended to the end of the chroot's sources.list. More than one mirror can be
specified and are appended to the chroot's sources.list in the given order. If
any mirror contains a https URI, then the packages apt-transport-https and
ca-certificates will be installed inside the chroot.

The I<TARGET> argument can either be a directory or a tarball filename. If
I<TARGET> is a directory, then it must not exist beforehand. A tarball
filename is detected by the filename extension of I<TARGET>. Choosing a
directory only makes sense with the B<sudo> mode because otherwise the
contents of the chroot will not be owned by the superuser. If no I<TARGET> was
specified or if I<TARGET> is C<->, then a tarball of the chroot is written to
standard output.

The I<SUITE> may be a valid release code name (eg, sid, stretch, jessie) or a
symbolic name (eg, unstable, testing, stable, oldstable). Any suite name that
works with apt on the given mirror will work. If no I<SUITE> was specified,
then a single I<MIRROR> C<-> is added and thus the information of the desired
suite has to come from standard input as part of a valid apt sources.list
file.

=head1 OPTIONS

=over 8

=item B<-h,--help>

Print this help text and exit.

=item B<--variant>

Choose which package set to install. Valid variant names are B<essential>,
B<apt>, B<required>, B<minbase>, B<buildd>, B<important>, B<debootstrap>,
B<->, and B<standard>. The default variant is B<required>. See the section
B<VARIANTS> for more information.

=item B<--mode>

Choose how to perform the chroot operation and create a filesystem with
ownership information different from the current user. Valid modes are B<auto>,
B<sudo>, B<root>, B<unshare>, B<fakeroot>, B<fakechroot> and B<proot>. The
default mode is B<auto>. See the section B<MODES> for more information.

=item B<--aptopt>

Pass arbitrary options to apt. Will be added to
/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99mmdebstrap inside the chroot.  Can be specified multiple
times. Each option with be appended to 99mmdebstrap. A semicolon will be added
at the end of the option if necessary. If the command line argument is an
existing file, the content of the file will be appended to 99mmdebstrap
verbatim.

Examples:

    --aptopt="Acquire::Check-Valid-Until false"
    --aptopt="Acquire::Languages { \"environment\"; \"en\"; }"
    --aptopt="Apt::Install-Recommends true"

=item B<--dpkgopt>

Pass arbitrary options to dpkg. Will be added to
/etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d/99mmdebstrap inside the chroot. Can be specified multiple
times. Each option will be appended to 99mmdebstrap. If the command line
argument is an existing file, the content of the file will be appended to
99mmdebstrap verbatim.

Example: --dpkgopt="path-exclude=/usr/share/man/*"

=item B<--include>

Comma separated list of packages which will be installed in addition to the
packages installed by the specified variant. This option is incompatible with
the essential variant because apt inside the chroot is needed to install extra
packages.

=item B<--components>

Comma separated list of components like main, contrib and non-free.

=item B<--architectures>

Comma separated list of architectures. The first architecture is the native
architecture inside the chroot. The remaining architectures will be added to
the foreign architectures. This defaults to the native architecture of the
system running this program.

=back

=head1 MODES

Creating a Debian chroot requires not only permissions for running chroot but
also the ability to create files owned by the superuser. The selected mode
decides which way this is achieved.

=over 8

=item B<auto>

This mode automatically selects a fitting mode. If the effective user id is the
one of the superuser, then the B<sudo> mode is chosen. Otherwise, the
B<unshare> mode is picked if the system has the sysctl
C<kernel.unprivileged_userns_clone> set to C<1>. Should that not be the case
and if the proot binary exists, the B<proot> mode is chosen. Lastly, the
B<fakechroot> is used if the fakechroot binary exists.

=item B<sudo>, B<root>

This mode directly executes chroot and is the same mode of operation as is used
by debootstrap. It is the only mode that can directly create a directory chroot
with the right permissions.

=item B<unshare>

This mode uses Linux user namespaces to allow unpriviliged use of chroot and
creation of files that appear to be owned by the superuser inside the unshared
namespace. A directory chroot created with this mode will end up with wrong
permissions. Choose to create a tarball instead.

=item B<fakeroot>, B<fakechroot>

This mode will exec this program again under C<fakechroot fakeroot>. A
directory chroot created with this mode will end up with wrong permissions.
Choose to create a tarball instead.

=item B<proot>

This mode will carry out all calls to chroot with proot instead. Since
permissions are only retained while proot is still running, this will lead to
wrong permissions in the final directory and tarball. This mode is useful if
you plan to use the chroot with proot.

=back

=head1 VARIANTS

All package sets also include the hard dependencies (but not recommends) of
the selected package sets. The variants B<minbase>, B<buildd> and B<->,
resemble the package sets that debootstrap would install with the same
I<--variant> argument.

=over 8

=item B<essential>

Essential:yes packages.

=item B<apt>

The B<essential> set plus apt.

=item B<required>, B<minbase>

The B<essential> set plus all packages with Priority:required and apt.

=item B<buildd>

The B<minbase> set plus build-essential.

=item B<important>, B<debootstrap>, B<->

The B<required> set plus all packages with Priority:important. This is the default of debootstrap.

=item B<standard>

The B<important> set plus all packages with Priority:standard.

=back

=head1 EXAMPLES

Use like debootstrap:

    sudo mmdebstrap unstable ./unstable-chroot

Without superuser privileges:

    mmdebstrap unstable unstable-chroot.tar

With complex apt options:

    mmdebstrap < /etc/apt/sources.list > unstable-chroot.tar

Drop locales (but not the symlink to the locale name alias database),
translated manual packages (but not the untranslated ones), and documentation
(but not copyright and Debian changelog).

    mmdebstrap --variant=essential \
        --dpkgopt='path-exclude=/usr/share/man/*' \
        --dpkgopt='path-include=/usr/share/man/man[1-9]/*' \
        --dpkgopt='path-exclude=/usr/share/locale/*' \
        --dpkgopt='path-include=/usr/share/locale/locale.alias' \
        --dpkgopt='path-exclude=/usr/share/doc/*' \
        --dpkgopt='path-include=/usr/share/doc/*/copyright' \
        --dpkgopt='path-include=/usr/share/doc/*/changelog.Debian.*' \
        unstable debian-unstable.tar
