Description

13.

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 bootstrap.

14.

The aim is to create a complete bootstrap / root filesystem with all packages installed and configured, instead of just the base system.

15.

Example configuration:

16.

[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 bootstrap will
# still be installed.
noauth=false
# extract all downloaded archives (default is true)
unpack=true
# whether to add the /suite to be explicit about where apt
# needs to look for packages. Default is false.
explicitsuite=false
# aptsources is a list of sections to be used
# the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/multistrap.sources.list
# of the target. Order is not important
aptsources=Debian
# the bootstrap option determines which repository
# is used to calculate the list of Priority: required packages
# and which packages go into the rootfs.
# The order of sections is not important.
bootstrap=Debian
