# 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, L<http://deb.debian.org/debian> is used.
If I<SUITE> is a stable release name and no I<MIRROR> is specified, 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 B<--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.  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.  If any mirror contains a tor+xxx URI, then the
apt-transport-tor package will be installed inside the chroot.

The optional I<TARGET> argument can either be the path to a directory, the
path to a tarball filename, the path to a squashfs image or C<->. If I<TARGET>
ends with C<.tar>, or with any of the filename extensions listed in the
section B<COMPRESSION>, then I<TARGET> will be interpreted as a path to a
tarball filename. If I<TARGET> ends with C<.squashfs> or C<.sqfs>, then
I<TARGET> will be interpreted as a path to a squashfs image. If I<TARGET> is
the path to a tarball filename or a squashfs image or if I<TARGET> is C<-> or
if no I<TARGET> was specified, B<mmdebstrap> will create a temporary chroot
directory in C<$TMPDIR> or F</tmp>. If I<TARGET> is the path to a tarball
filename, B<mmdebstrap> will create a tarball of that directory and store it
as I<TARGET>, optionally applying a compression algorithm as indicated by its
filename extension. If I<TARGET> is C<-> or if no I<TARGET> was specified,
then an uncompressed tarball of that directory will be sent to standard
output. When B<mmdebstrap> creates a tarball it also stores extended
attributes. To preserve the extended attributes, you have to pass B<--xattrs
--xattrs-include='*'> to tar when extracting the tarball. If I<TARGET> is the
path to a squashfs image, B<mmdebstrap> will create an xz compressed image
with a blocksize of 1048576 bytes. If I<TARGET> does neither end with C<.tar>
nor with any of the filename extensions listed in the section B<COMPRESSION>,
nor with C<.squashfs> or C<.sqfs>, then I<TARGET> will be interpreted as the
path to a directory. If the directory already exists, it must either be empty
or only contain an empty C<lost+found> directory.  If a directory is chosen as
output in any other mode than B<sudo>, then its contents will have wrong
ownership information and special device files will be missing.

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.

All status output is printed to standard error unless B<--logfile> is used to
redirect it to a file or B<--quiet> or B<--silent> is used to suppress any
output on standard error. Help and version information will be printed to
standard error with the B<--help> and B<--version> options, respectively.
Otherwise, an uncompressed tarball might be sent to standard output if
I<TARGET> is C<-> or if no I<TARGET> was specified.

=head1 OPTIONS

Options are case insensitive. Short options may be bundled. Long options
require a double dash and may be abbreviated to uniqueness.

=over 8

=item B<-h,--help>

Print synopsis and options of this man page and exit.

=item B<--man>

Show the full man page as generated from Perl POD in a pager. This requires
the perldoc program from the perl-doc package. This is the same as running:

    pod2man /usr/bin/mmdebstrap | man -l -

=item B<--version>

Print the B<mmdebstrap> version and exit.

=item B<--variant>=I<name>

Choose which package set to install. Valid variant I<name>s are B<extract>,
B<custom>, 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>=I<name>

Choose how to perform the chroot operation and create a filesystem with
ownership information different from the current user. Valid mode I<name>s 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>=I<option>|I<file>

Pass arbitrary I<option>s to apt. Will be added to
F</etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99mmdebstrap> inside the chroot.  Can be specified
multiple times. Each I<option> will 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 I<file>, the content of the file will be appended to
99mmdebstrap verbatim.

Example: This is necessary for allowing old timestamps from snapshot.debian.org

    --aptopt='Acquire::Check-Valid-Until "false"'

Example: Settings controlling download of package description translations

    --aptopt='Acquire::Languages { "environment"; "en"; }'
    --aptopt='Acquire::Languages "none"'

Example: Enable installing Recommends (by default mmdebstrap doesn't)

    --aptopt='Apt::Install-Recommends "true"'

Example: Configure apt-cacher or apt-cacher-ng as an apt proxy

    --aptopt='Acquire::http { Proxy "http://127.0.0.1:3142"; }'

Example: For situations in which the apt sandbox user cannot access the chroot

    --aptopt='APT::Sandbox::User "root"'

Example: Minimizing the number of packages installed from experimental

    --aptopt='APT::Solver "aspcud"'
    --aptopt='APT::Solver::aspcud::Preferences
       "-count(solution,APT-Release:=/a=experimental/),-removed,-changed,-new"'

=item B<--keyring>=I<file>|I<directory>

Change the default keyring to use by apt. By default, F</etc/apt/trusted.gpg>
and F</etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d> are used. Depending on whether a file or
directory is passed to this option, the former and latter default can be
changed, respectively.  Since apt only supports a single keyring file and
directory, respectively, you can B<not> use this option to pass multiple files
and/or directories. Using the C<--keyring> argument in the following way is
equal to keeping the default:

    --keyring=/etc/apt/trusted.gpg --keyring=/etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d

If you need to pass multiple keyrings, use the C<signed-by> option when
specifying the mirror like this:

    mmdebstrap mysuite out.tar "deb [signed-by=/path/to/key.gpg] http://..."

The C<signed-by> option will automatically be added to the final
C<sources.list> if the keyring required for the selected I<SUITE> is not yet
trusted by apt. Automatically adding the C<signed-by> option in these cases
requires C<gpg> to be installed. If C<gpg> and C<ubuntu-archive-keyring> are
installed, then you can create a Ubuntu Bionic chroot on Debian like this:

    mmdebstrap bionic ubuntu-bionic.tar

The resulting chroot will have a C<source.list> with a C<signed-by> option
pointing to F</usr/share/keyrings/ubuntu-archive-keyring.gpg>.

=item B<--dpkgopt>=I<option>|I<file>

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

Example: Exclude paths to reduce chroot size

    --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/doc/*/changelog.Debian.*'

=item B<--include>=I<pkg1>[,I<pkg2>,...]

Comma or whitespace separated list of packages which will be installed in
addition to the packages installed by the specified variant. The direct and
indirect hard dependencies will also be installed. The behaviour of this
option depends on the selected variant. The B<extract> and B<custom> variants
install no packages by default, so for these variants, the packages specified
by this option will be the only ones that get either extracted or installed by
dpkg, respectively.  For all other variants, apt is used to install the
additional packages. The B<essential> variant does not include apt and thus,
the include option will only work when the B<chrootless> mode is selected and
thus apt from the outside can be used. Package names are directly passed to
apt and thus, you can use apt features like C<pkg/suite>, C<pkg=version>,
C<pkg-> or use a glob or regex for C<pkg>. See apt(8) for the supported
syntax. The option can be specified multiple times and the packages are
concatenated in the order in which they are given on the command line. If
later list items are repeated, then they get dropped so that the resulting
package list is free of duplicates. So the following are equivalent:

    --include="pkg1/stable pkg2=1.0 pkg3-"
    --include=pkg1/stable,pkg2=1.0,pkg3-
    --incl=pkg1/stable --incl="pkg2=1.0 pkg3-" --incl=pkg2=1.0,pkg3-

=item B<--components>=I<comp1>[,I<comp2>,...]

Comma or whitespace separated list of components like main, contrib and
non-free which will be used for all URI-only I<MIRROR> arguments. The option
can be specified multiple times and the components are concatenated in the
order in which they are given on the command line. If later list items are
repeated, then they get dropped so that the resulting component list is free
of duplicates. So the following are equivalent:

    --components="main contrib non-free"
    --components=main,contrib,non-free
    --comp=main --comp="contrib non-free" --comp="main,non-free"

=item B<--architectures>=I<native>[,I<foreign1>,...]

Comma or whitespace separated list of architectures. The first architecture is
the I<native> architecture inside the chroot. The remaining architectures will
be added to the foreign dpkg architectures. Without this option, the I<native>
architecture of the chroot defaults to the native architecture of the system
running B<mmdebstrap>. The option can be specified multiple times and values
are concatenated. If later list items are repeated, then they get dropped so
that the resulting list is free of duplicates. So the following are
equivalent:

    --architectures="amd64 armhf mipsel"
    --architectures=amd64,armhf,mipsel
    --arch=amd64 --arch="armhf mipsel" --arch=armhf,mipsel

=item B<--setup-hook>=I<command>

Execute arbitrary I<command>s right after initial setup (directory creation,
configuration of apt and dpkg, ...) but before any packages are downloaded or
installed. At that point, the chroot directory does not contain any
executables and thus cannot be chroot-ed into. See section B<HOOKS> for more
information.

Example: Setup merged-/usr via symlinks

    --setup-hook='for d in bin sbin lib; do ln -s usr/$d "$1/$d";
        mkdir -p "$1/usr/$d"; done'

Example: Setup chroot for installing a sub-essential busybox-based chroot with
--variant=custom
--include=dpkg,busybox,libc-bin,base-files,base-passwd,debianutils

    --setup-hook='mkdir -p "$1/bin"'
    --setup-hook='for p in awk cat chmod chown cp diff echo env grep less ln
        mkdir mount rm rmdir sed sh sleep sort touch uname; do
        ln -s busybox "$1/bin/$p"; done'
    --setup-hook='echo root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/sh > "$1/etc/passwd"'
    --setup-hook='printf "root:x:0:\nmail:x:8:\nutmp:x:43:\n" > "$1/etc/group"'

=item B<--essential-hook>=I<command>

Execute arbitrary I<command>s after the Essential:yes packages have been
installed but before installing the remaining packages. The hook is not
executed for the B<extract> and B<custom> variants. See section B<HOOKS> for
more information.

Example: Enable unattended upgrades

    --essential-hook='echo unattended-upgrades
        unattended-upgrades/enable_auto_updates boolean true
        | chroot "$1" debconf-set-selections'

Example: Select Europe/Berlin as the timezone

    --essential-hook='echo tzdata tzdata/Areas select Europe
        | chroot "$1" debconf-set-selections'
    --essential-hook='echo tzdata tzdata/Zones/Europe select Berlin
        | chroot "$1" debconf-set-selections'

=item B<--customize-hook>=I<command>

Execute arbitrary I<command>s after the chroot is set up and all packages got
installed but before final cleanup actions are carried out. See section
B<HOOKS> for more information.

Example: Preparing a chroot for use with autopkgtest

    --customize-hook='chroot "$1" passwd --delete root'
    --customize-hook='chroot "$1" useradd --home-dir /home/user
        --create-home user'
    --customize-hook='chroot "$1" passwd --delete user'
    --customize-hook='echo host > "$1/etc/hostname"'
    --customize-hook='echo "127.0.0.1 localhost host" > "$1/etc/hosts"'

=item B<-q,--quiet>, B<-s,--silent>

Do not write anything to standard error. If used together with B<--verbose> or
B<--debug>, only the last option will take effect.

Instead of progress bars, write the dpkg and apt output directly to standard
error. If used together with B<--quiet> or B<--debug>, only the last option
will take effect.

=item B<-d,--debug>

In addition to the output produced by B<--verbose>, write detailed debugging
information to standard error. Errors will print a backtrace. If used together
with B<--quiet> or B<--verbose>, only the last option will take effect.

Instead of writing status information to standard error, write it into the

=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 fakechroot binary exists, the B<fakechroot> mode is chosen. Lastly,
the B<proot> mode is used if the proot 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. If the chroot directory is not accessible
by the _apt user, then apt sandboxing will be automatically disabled.

=item B<unshare>

This mode uses Linux user namespaces to allow unprivileged 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. This mode requires the sysctl
C<kernel.unprivileged_userns_clone> being set to C<1>.

=item B<fakeroot>, B<fakechroot>

This mode will exec B<mmdebstrap> again under C<fakechroot fakeroot>. A
directory chroot created with this mode will end up with wrong permissions.
Choose to create a tarball instead. This mode will not work if maintainer
scripts are unable to handle C<LD_PRELOAD> correctly like the package
B<initramfs-tools> until version 0.132.

=item B<proot>

This mode will carry out all calls to chroot with proot instead. Since
ownership information is only retained while proot is still running, this will
lead to wrong ownership information in the final directory (everything will be
owned by the user that executed B<mmdebstrap>) and tarball (everything will be
owned by the root user). Extended attributes are not retained. This mode is
useful if you plan to use the chroot with proot.

=item B<chrootless>

Uses the dpkg option C<--force-script-chrootless> to install packages into
B<TARGET> without dpkg and apt inside B<target> but using apt and dpkg from
the machine running B<mmdebstrap>. Maintainer scripts are run without chrooting
into B<TARGET> and rely on their dependencies being installed on the machine
running B<mmdebstrap>. Unless B<mmdebstrap> was run inside fakeroot, the
directory created will be owned by the user running mmdebstrap.

=head1 VARIANTS

All package sets also include the direct and indirect 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<extract>

Installs nothing by default (not even C<Essential:yes> packages). Packages
given by the C<--include> option are extracted but will not be installed.

=item B<custom>

Installs nothing by default (not even C<Essential:yes> packages). Packages
given by the C<--include> option will be installed.  If another mode than
B<chrootless> was selected and dpkg was not part of the included package set,
then this variant will fail because it cannot configure the packages.

=item B<essential>

C<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.

=head1 HOOKS

This section describes properties of the hook options B<--setup-hook>,
B<--essential-hook> and B<--customize-hook> which are common to all three of
them. Any information specific to each hook is documented under the specific
hook options in the section B<OPTIONS>.

The options can be specified multiple times and the commands are executed in
the order in which they are given on the command line. There are three
different types of hook option arguments. If the argument passed to the hook
option starts with C<copy-in>, C<copy-out>, C<tar-in>, C<tar-out>, C<upload>
or C<download> followed by a space, then the hook is interpreted as a special
hook. Otherwise, if I<command> is an existing executable file from C<$PATH> or
if I<command> does not contain any shell metacharacters, then I<command> is
directly exec-ed with the path to the chroot directory passed as the first
argument. Otherwise, I<command> is executed under I<sh> and the chroot
directory can be accessed via I<$1>. All environment variables used by
B<mmdebstrap> (like C<APT_CONFIG>, C<DEBIAN_FRONTEND>, C<LC_ALL> and C<PATH>)
are preserved.

The paths inside the chroot are relative to the root directory of the chroot.
The path on the outside is relative to current directory of the original
B<mmdebstrap> invocation. The path inside the chroot must already exist. Paths
outside the chroot are created as necessary.

To be able to resolve even absolute symlinks, C<tar> or C<sh> and C<cat> are
executed inside the chroot for the B<essential> and B<customize> hooks. This
means that the special hooks might fail for the B<extract> and B<custom>
variants if no C<tar> or C<sh> and C<cat> is available inside the chroot.
Since nothing is yet installed at the time of the B<setup> hook, no absolute
symlinks in paths inside the chroot are supported during that hook.

=over 8

=item B<copy-out> I<pathinside> [I<pathinside> ...] I<pathoutside>

Recursively copies one or more files and directories out of the chroot into,
placing them into I<pathoutside> outside of the chroot.

=item B<copy-in> I<pathoutside> [I<pathoutside> ...] I<pathinside>

Recursively copies one or more files and directories into the chroot into,
placing them into I<pathinside> inside of the chroot.

=item B<tar-in> I<outside.tar> I<pathinside>

Unpacks a tarball I<outside.tar> from outside the chroot into a certain
location I<pathinside> inside the chroot.

=item B<tar-out> I<pathinside> I<outside.tar>

Packs the path I<pathinside> from inside the chroot into a tarball, placing it
into a certain location I<outside.tar> outside the chroot.

=item B<download> I<fileinside> I<fileoutside>

Copy the file given by I<fileinside> from inside the chroot to outside the
chroot as I<fileoutside>. In contrast to B<copy-out>, this command only
handles files and not directories. To copy a directory recursively out of the
chroot, use B<copy-out> or B<tar-out>. Its advantage is, that by being able to
specify the full path on the outside, including the filename, the file on the
outside can have a different name from the file on the inside.

=item B<upload> I<fileoutside> I<fileinside>

Copy the file given by I<fileoutside> from outside the chroot to inside the
chroot as I<fileinside>. In contrast to B<copy-in>, this command only
handles files and not directories. To copy a directory recursively into the
chroot, use B<copy-in> or B<tar-in>. Its advantage is, that by being able to
specify the full path on the inside, including the filename, the file on the
inside can have a different name from the file on the outside.

=head1 EXAMPLES

Use like debootstrap:

    $ sudo mmdebstrap unstable ./unstable-chroot

Without superuser privileges:

    $ mmdebstrap unstable unstable-chroot.tar

With no command line arguments at all. The chroot content is entirely defined
by a sources.list file on standard input.

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

Since the tarball is output on stdout, members of it can be excluded using tar
on-the-fly. For example the /dev directory can be removed from the final
tarbal in cases where it is to be extracted by a non-root user who cannot
create device nodes:

    $ mmdebstrap unstable | tar --delete ./dev > unstable-chroot.tar

Instead of a tarball, a squashfs image can be created:

    $ mmdebstrap unstable unstable-chroot.squashfs

By default, debootstrapping a stable distribution will add mirrors for security
and updates to the sources.list.

    $ mmdebstrap stable stable-chroot.tar

If you don't want this behaviour, you can override it by manually specifying a
mirror in various different ways:

    $ mmdebstrap stable stable-chroot.tar http://deb.debian.org/debian
    $ mmdebstrap stable stable-chroot.tar \
        "deb http://deb.debian.org/debian stable main"
    $ mmdebstrap stable stable-chroot.tar /path/to/sources.list
    $ mmdebstrap stable stable-chroot.tar - < /path/to/sources.list

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/doc/*/changelog.Debian.*' \
        unstable debian-unstable.tar

Use as debootstrap replacement in sbuild-createchroot:

    $ sbuild-createchroot --debootstrap=mmdebstrap \
        --make-sbuild-tarball ~/.cache/sbuild/unstable-amd64.tar.gz \

=head1 BUGS

https://gitlab.mister-muffin.de/josch/mmdebstrap/issues

https://bugs.debian.org/src:mmdebstrap

As of version 1.19.5, dpkg does not provide facilities preventing it from
reading the dpkg configuration of the machine running B<mmdebstrap>.
Therefore, until this dpkg limitation is fixed, a default dpkg configuration
is recommended on machines running B<mmdebstrap>.

Setting [trusted=yes] to allow signed archives without a known public key will
fail because of a gpg warning in the apt output. Since apt does not
communicate its status via any other means than human readable strings,
B<mmdebstrap> treats any warning from "apt-get update" as an error. Fixing
this will require apt to provide a machine readable status interface. See
Debian bugs #778357, #776152, #696335, and #745735.

=begin comment

Special hooks either require C<tar> or C<sh> and C<cat> be present inside the
chroot or otherwise there is no support for absolute symlinks. This limitation
can be dropped for the B<root> and B<unshare> modes as well as for the
B<setup> hook in all modes if code is added that supports resolving paths with
absolute symlinks even inside the chroot directory reliably. Due to how
symlinks are handled by B<fakechroot> and B<proot>, the requirement of having
C<tar> or C<sh> and C<cat> inside the chroot can never be dropped for these
modes.
