Bug 164903 – Add support for ububtu on debootstrap

• Status: RESOLVED UPSTREAM
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Tiago Freire 2007-02-01 19:22:58 UTC]

Currently, debootstrap works for installing debian e.g. in a chroot.
I'd like to have a ubuntu chroot, so I hacked around doing a few crude changes to the debootstrap ebuild in a chroot. It's crude, but worked. perhaps the ebootstrap maintainer could add ubuntu support?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge debootstrap
Actual Results:  
debian debootstrap is emerged

Expected Results:  
debootstrap should have ubuntu support too

Exceedingly simple hack to use ubuntu's debootstrap:

If you get upstream to merge the changes, sure.
