Package: rootstrap
Version: 0.3.24-5
Severity: wishlist
Hi!
Currently, we can only rootstrap the current arch. It would be nice to
be able to rootstrap another architecture. Since UML is running with
the current distribution, we cannot use arbitrary arch, but with an
amd64 distribution, we should be able to rootstrap a 32bit one.
In modules/debian, we could add:
if test -n "$arch"; then
opts="$opts --arch=$arch"
fi
I think this would do the trick.
