I'm going to release emdebian-rootfs 2.0.7 today - without the cascade support mentioned earlier because 2.0.7 will be a "stabilisation" release. 2.0.7 will be the LAST release of emsandbox and the emdebian-rootfs source package. 2.1.0 will be the first release of multistrap as a source package providing only a multistrap binary package. In that package, em_multistrap will disappear and the binary will be /usr/sbin/multistrap. This already exists, so change your scripts now. em_multistrap was meant to be for the cross support but there proved to be insufficient differences between the two methods to justify a separate script. 2.1.0 will include the experimental support for cascading configuration, a ported version of machine:variant support from emsandbox (support for config.sh and setup.sh but not packages.conf) as well as experimental support for reduced numbers of packages in the core multistrap package list. 2.1.x will therefore be a tad unstable for a while and with so many extensions going into the same series, it will require some testing. None of the changes are in SVN yet. If people prefer, 2.1.0 can go into Debian experimental - as long as some people do actually run it and file bugs. This also means that the emdebian-rootfs source package will not make it into a stable release as it was part of emdebian-tools in Lenny. If multistrap testing goes well, I'll be ripping emdebian-tools apart over the Easter break and remaking it for those Crush experiments. Why is this happening now? Basically because Squeeze was going to have been released by now ... -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
