Description: multiple repository bootstrap based on apt
A debootstrap replacement with multiple repository support,
using apt to handle all dependency issues and conflicts.
.
Multistrap includes support for foreign architecture multistraps
that need only minimal configuration on the final device. Also
supports cleaning up the generated bootstrap filesystem to
remove downloaded packages and hooks to modify the files in
the bootstrap filesystem after the packages have been unpacked
but before being configured.
.
Unlike debootstrap, multistrap relies on working versions of
dpkg and apt outside the final filesystem.
.
Multistrap supercedes emdebian-rootfs and includes support
for preparing root filesystems for specific machines and variants.
Also included is the previous emdebian-rootfs support for
customisation of package selection and of files created
within the root filesystem.
.
Root filesystems created with multistrap need minimal
configuration on the embedded device before the first boot.
