0.7.0 (2020-08-27)

  • the hook system (setup, extract, essential, customize and hook-dir) is made public and is now a documented interface
  • tarball is also created if the output is a named pipe or character special

0.5.1 (2019-10-19)

  • minor bugfixes and documentation clarification
  • the --components option now takes component names as a comma or whitespace separated list or as multiple --components options
  • make_mirror.sh now has to be invoked manually before calling coverage.sh

0.5.0 (2019-10-05)

  • do not unconditionally read sources.list stdin anymore
    • if mmdebstrap is used via ssh without a pseudo-terminal, it will stall forever
    • as this is unexpected, one now has to explicitly request reading sources.list from stdin in situations where it's ambiguous whether that is requested
    • thus, the following modes of operation don't work anymore: $ mmdebstrap unstable /output/dir < sources.list $ mmdebstrap unstable /output/dir http://mirror < sources.list
    • instead, one now has to write: $ mmdebstrap unstable /output/dir - < sources.list $ mmdebstrap unstable /output/dir http://mirror - < sources.list

  • fix EDSP output for external solvers so that apt doesn't mark itself as Essential:yes
  • also re-exec under fakechroot if fakechroot is picked in 'auto' mode
  • chdir() before 'apt-get update' to accomodate for apt << 1.5
  • add Dir::State::Status to apt config for apt << 1.3

  • select the right mirror for ubuntu, kali and tanglu
