[Buildd-tools-devel] Bug#477935: way to prevent chroot from exiting

[martin f krafft]

Package: schroot
Version: 1.1.6-1
Severity: wishlist

If the setup.d scripts exit non-zero, the chroot is nevertheless
terminated. It would be nice to have a way to prevent that. E.g. if
a script exits 230 or the like, then schroot should roll back (run
scripts with setup-start with a higher number) and chroot back into
the directory.

There are two reasons for this:

  - I might be using the chroot for some elaborate test work and
    accidentally hit exit, losing all I did.
  - The git backend method I am currently developing should prevent
    the chroot from exiting if there are uncommitted changes.

Thanks,
