Add support for producing a sid image

Open asb opened this issue 13 years ago • 2 comments

This should be trivial - only blocked on the need to refactor the current scripts so that the logic for producing and configuring the wheezy image can be reused.

Is this a matter of making the "dotask do_debootstrap wheezy rootfs" be able to take a non default "image" option then check that all the subsequent steps work?

Pretty much. It's very possible no extra changes would be needed (unlike adding a squeeze target, where we'd need to deal with the fact squeeze doesn't have fake-hwclock and we don't need to manually pin squeak-vm 4.0). The code that configures /etc/apt/sources.list in wheezy-stage2 would also need to be modified.

I suppose there's the wider question of how this should be structured? Do we just change the current scripts so they check a variable to see what Debian version they're building and act accordingly? Or maybe an alternative restructuring would be better? For the sid case, it's probably easiest to start with the most straight forward way of getting it working though.
