mmdebstrap
|
||||||
|
==========
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
An alternative to debootstrap which uses apt internally and is thus able to use
|
||||||
|
more than one mirror and resolve more complex dependencies.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Usage
|
||||||
|
-----
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Use like debootstrap:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
sudo mmdebstrap unstable ./unstable-chroot
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Without superuser privileges:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
mmdebstrap unstable unstable-chroot.tar
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
With complex apt options:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
cat /etc/apt/sources.list | mmdebstrap > unstable-chroot.tar
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The sales pitch in comparison to debootstrap
|
||||||
|
--------------------------------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Summary:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- more than one mirror possible
|
||||||
|
- security and updates mirror included for Debian stable chroots
|
||||||
|
- 2-3 times faster
|
||||||
|
- chroot with apt in 11 seconds
|
||||||
|
- gzipped tarball with apt is 27M small
|
||||||
|
- bit-by-bit reproducible output
|
||||||
|
- unprivileged operation using Linux user namespaces, fakechroot or proot
|
||||||
|
- can operate on filesystems mounted with nodev
|
||||||
|
- foreign architecture chroots with qemu-user
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The author believes that a chroot of a Debian stable release should include the
|
||||||
|
latest packages including security fixes by default. This has been a wontfix
|
||||||
|
with debootstrap since 2009 (See #543819 and #762222). Since mmdebstrap uses
|
||||||
|
apt internally, support for multiple mirrors comes for free and stable or
|
||||||
|
oldstable **chroots will include security and updates mirrors**.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
A side-effect of using apt is being **2-3 times faster** than debootstrap. The
|
||||||
|
timings were carried out on a laptop with an Intel Core i5-5200U.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
| variant | mmdebstrap | debootstrap |
|
||||||
|
| ------- | ---------- | ------------ |
|
||||||
|
| minbase | 25.25 s | 51.47 s |
|
||||||
|
| buildd | 30.99 s | 59.38 s |
|
||||||
|
| - | 29.85 s | 127.18 s |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Apt considers itself an `Essential: yes` package. This feature allows one to
|
||||||
|
create a chroot containing just the `Essential: yes` packages and apt (and
|
||||||
|
their hard dependencies) in **just 11 seconds**.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If desired, a most minimal chroot with just the `Essential: yes` packages and
|
||||||
|
their hard dependencies can be created with a gzipped tarball size of just 34M.
|
||||||
|
By using dpkg's `--path-exclude` option to exclude documentation, even smaller
|
||||||
|
gzipped tarballs of 21M in size are possible. If apt is included, the result is
|
||||||
|
a **gzipped tarball of only 27M**.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
These small sizes are also achieved because apt caches and other cruft is
|
||||||
|
stripped from the chroot. This also makes the result **bit-by-bit
|
||||||
|
reproducible** if the `$SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH` environment variable is set.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The author believes, that it should not be necessary to have superuser
|
||||||
|
privileges to create a file (the chroot tarball) in one's home directory. If
|
||||||
|
mmdebstrap is run by an unprivileged user, either Linux user namespaces,
|
||||||
|
fakechroot or proot are used to create a chroot tarball. Debootstrap supports
|
||||||
|
fakechroot but will not create a tarball with the right permissions by itself.
|
||||||
|
Support for Linux user namespaces and proot is missing (see bugs #829134 and
|
||||||
|
#698347, respectively).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
When creating a chroot tarball with debootstrap, the temporary chroot directory
|
||||||
|
cannot be on a filesystem that has been mounted with nodev. In unprivileged
|
||||||
|
mode, mknod is never used, which means that /tmp can be used as a temporary
|
||||||
|
directory location even if if it's mounted with nodev as a security measure.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If the chroot architecture cannot be executed by the current machine, qemu-user
|
||||||
|
is used to allow one to create a foreign architecture chroot.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Limitations in comparison to debootstrap
|
||||||
|
----------------------------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Debootstrap supports creating a Debian chroot on non-Debian systems but
|
||||||
|
mmdebstrap requires apt.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
There is no `SCRIPT` argument.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
There is no `--second-stage` option.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Tests
|
||||||
|
=====
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The script `test.sh` compares the output of mmdebstrap with debootstrap in
|
||||||
|
several scenarios. Since debootstrap needs superuser privileges, `test.sh`
|
||||||
|
needs `sudo` to run.
|
||||||
