[Buildd-tools-devel] Bug#355898: schroot: Please allow plain chroots with setup scripts not to be session managed

[Clément Stenac]

Package: schroot
Severity: normal


This bug should maybe be wishlist, but as it has (for me at least) the
effect that the package does not work as wanted anymore (regression),
I'm filing it at normal level.

Since 0.2.4, "plain" chroots are session-managed if setup scripts are
enabled. I would like either this behaviour to be configurable, or for
"run-session" to be much easier to use.

I run a set of plain schroots for which I want to 
1/ Run setup scripts when someone enters the chroot
2/ Run daemons in the chroot

Session-management does not allow 2/ to be carried out, as the
bind filesystems can't be unmounted anymore. --begin-session and
--run-session might make this possible, but they are very clumsy to use,
as you need to keep the session ID.

Do you think the session-management-with-setup-script could be
disableable via a command-line switch or configuration option ?

Thanks,
