replace debos by mmdebstrap in SimpleSystemImageBuild
User story
debos
fails with recent user-mode-linux (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1086194), lacks architecture support and is slow in CI. @helmutg came up with some scripts to replace it by mmdebstrap
.
Error handling
As mmdebstrap
works without starting a VM it should improve a lot.
Implementation plan
Helmut wrote a first version of the needed scripts. We need to refine them to make sure they fit the task.
On the debusine side we need to replace the debos
calls and make sure all needed features are migrated.
Open questions
- Where to put the scripts? Helmut offered to ship them in
debvm
but we may also ship them indebusine
till they are finalized and available in bookworm.
