Specify a package to extend the debootstap to include that package and

em_multistrap [-a ARCH] [-d DIR] -f CONFIG_FILE
em_multistrap -?|-h|--help|--version
=head1 Options
(These options can also be set in the configuration file.)
--tidy-up - remove apt cache data, downloaded Packages files and
the apt package cache. Same as cleanup=true.
--no-auth - allow the use of unauthenticated repositories. Same
as noauth=true
=head1 Description
em_multistrap provides a debootstrap-like method based on apt and
extended to provide support for multiple repositories, using a
configuration file to specify the relevant suites, architecture,
extra packages and the mirror to use for each debootstrap.
The aim is to create a complete debootstrap with all packages
installed and configured, instead of just the base system.
Example configuration:
[General]
arch=armel
directory=/opt/multistrap/
# same as --tidy-up option if set to true
cleanup=true
# same as --no-auth option if set to true
# keyring packages listed in each debootstrap will
# still be installed.
noauth=false
# extract all downloaded archives (default is true)
unpack=true
# aptsources is a list of sections to be used for downloading packages
# and lists and placed in the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/multistrap.sources.list
# of the target. Order is not important
aptsources=Grip Updates
# the order of sections is not important.
# the debootstrap option determines which repository
# is used to calculate the list of Priority: required packages.
debootstrap=Debian
[Debian]
packages=
source=http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian
keyring=debian-archive-keyring
suite=lenny
This will result in a completely normal debootstrap of Debian lenny from
the specified mirror, for armel in '/opt/multistrap/'.
Specify a package to extend the multistrap to include that package and
all dependencies.
Specify more debootstraps by adding new sections. Section names are used
in the debootstrap general option.
Section names are case-insensitive.
e.g. change
debootstrap=Debian
to
debootstrap=Grip
then add the new section for Grip:
[Grip]
packages=locales
keyring=emdebian-archive-keyring
source=http://www.emdebian.org/grip
suite=lenny
Setting Grip instead of Debian in the debootstrap option, as above,
will provide a base system from Emdebian Grip 1.0 and locate any
missing dependencies in Debian 5.0 Lenny, allowing you to add any
package(s) you need from Debian that are not yet in Emdebian Grip.
All dependencies are resolved only by apt, using all configured
repositories, to use only the most recent and most suitable
dependencies. Note that multistrap turns off Install-Recommends
so if the multistrap needs a package that is only a Recommended
dependency, the recommended package needs to be specified in the
packages line explicitly.
'Architecture' and 'directory' can be overridden on the command line.
Other general options have command line options, except debootstrap
itself.
=head1 General settings:
'directory' specifies the top level directory where the debootstrap
will be created - it is not packed into a .tgz once complete.
As with debootstrap, em_multistrap will continue after errors.
em_multistrap does not currently implement the machine:variant support
used in Emdebian but the build directory is not packed up at the
end of the run so other scripts can be used to implement customisations.
=head1 Secure Apt
To use authenticated apt repositories, multistrap either needs to be
able to install an appropriate keyring package from the existing apt
sources *outside the multistrap environment* or have the relevant keys
already configured using apt-key *on the host system*.
If relevant packages exist, specify them in the 'keyring' option for
each repository. em_multistrap will then check that apt has already
installed this package so that the repository can be authenticated
before any packages are downloaded from it.
Note that *all* repositories to be used with multistrap must be
authenticated or apt will fail. Similarly, secure apt can only be
disabled for all repositories (by using the --no-auth command line
option or setting the general noauth option in the configuration
file), even if only one repository does not have a suitable keyring
available. Not all packages need keyring packages, if you configure
apt-key appropriately.
The keyring package(s) will also be installed inside the multistrap
environment to match the installed apt sources for the multistrap.
All configuration of apt-key needs to be done for the machine
running multistrap itself.
=head1 State
multistrap is stateless - if the directory exists, it will simply
proceed as normal and apt will try to pick up where it left off.
=head1 Configuration
multistrap unpacks the downloaded packages but other stages of
system configuration are not attempted. Examples include:
/etc/inittab
/etc/fstab
/etc/hosts
/etc/securetty
/etc/modules
/etc/hostname
/etc/network/interfaces
/etc/init.d
/etc/dhcp3
Any device-specific device nodes will also need to be created
using MAKEDEV.
Once multistrap has successfully created the basic file and
directory layout, other device-specific scripts are needed before
the filesystem can be packaged up and installed onto the
target device.
Once installed, the packages themselves need to be configured
using the package maintainer scripts and C<dpkg --configure -a>,
unless this is a native multistrap.
For C<dpkg> to work, F</proc> and F</sysfs> must be mounted (or
mountable), F</dev/pts> is also recommended.

=head1 Environment
To configure the unpacked packages (whether in native or cross mode),
certain environment variables are needed:
Debconf needs to be told to accept that user interaction is not
desired:
DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive DEBCONF_NONINTERACTIVE_SEEN=true
Perl needs to be told to accept that no locales are available inside
the chroot and not to complain:
LC_ALL=C LANGUAGE=C LANG=C
Then, dpkg can configure the packages:
chroot method (PATH = top directory of chroot):
DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive DEBCONF_NONINTERACTIVE_SEEN=true \
LC_ALL=C LANGUAGE=C LANG=C chroot /PATH/ dpkg --configure -a
at a login shell:
# export DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive DEBCONF_NONINTERACTIVE_SEEN=true
# export LC_ALL=C LANGUAGE=C LANG=C
# dpkg --configure -a
(As above, dpkg needs F</proc> and F</sysfs> mounted first.)
=head1 Native mode - multistrap
em_multistrap was not intended for native support, it was developed for
cross architecture support. In order for multiple repositories to be
used, em_multistrap only unpacks the packages selected by apt.
In native mode, various post-multistrap operations are likely to be
needed that debootstrap would do for you:
1. copy /etc/hosts into the chroot
2. clean the environment to unset LANGUAGE, LC_ALL and LANG
to silence nuisance perl warnings that obscure other errors
(An alternative to unset the localisation variables is to add
locales to your multistrap configuration file in the 'packages'
option.
A native multistrap can be used directly with chroot, so
C<multistrap> runs C<dpkg --configure -a> at the end of the
multistrap process.
