[Buildd-tools-devel] schroot version 1.1.5 released

[Roger Leigh]

Hi folks,

I have release schroot version 1.1.5.  It's tagged in SVN as
svn://svn.debian.org/svn/buildd-tools/tags/schroot-1.1.5

This release is mostly bugfixes and documentation improvements.  The
major changes from the NEWS file:

* Major changes in 1.1.5:

  1) A "script-config" option has been added to allow customisation of
     the chroot setup and execution scripts on a per-chroot basis.
     See schroot.conf(5) for further details.

  2) A --session-name has been added to allow naming sessions when
     using --begin-session.  This replaces the automatically-generated
     chroot-UUID session name.

And the Debian changelog:

  * New upstream development release.
  * debian/control: Use ${binary:Version}.
  * debian/schroot.preinst: In prep_mv_conffile(), use dpkg-query in
    place of reading /var/lib/dpkg/status directly.
  * bin/schroot/setup/10mount: Use --bind rather than --rbind for
    directory chroots.  This allows filesystem mounting to succeed when
    sub-mounts are already mounted on top of the original directory
    (Closes: #428805).  Thanks to Raphaël Hertzog for diagnosing this
    problem.
  * Calling "schroot -e -a" with no open sessions no longer outputs an
    error (Closes: #398679).  Thanks to Benjamin Seidenberg.
  * A new --session-name option allows users to name their sessions,
    rather than using the built-in UUID generation (Closes: #401159).
    Thanks to Lucas Nussbaum.
  * The schroot(1) manual page now has examples for using sessions
    (Closes: #401158).

The new "script-config" option doesn't do much at present, but once
the setup scripts are updated to include the appropriate configuration
hooks, will provide an easy mechanism to simply customise the scripts
without hacking the scripts themselves.  One major use of this will be
customising filesystem mounting.


Regards,
Roger
