Package: schroot
Version: 1.4.24-1
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

maybe one wants to copy files to a chroot that are not active in the
host system. For example, I might want apt in the chroot not to honor
recommends and suggests, but in the host, this behavior is fine.

To solve this, I would like schroot to copy a file from
/etc/schroot/foo/files/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/70RecommendsSuggests to
/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/70RecommendsSuggests in the schroot.

To allow this, the COPYFILES functionality could be changed to allow
two file names per line. If only one is given, behavior is not
changed, preserving backwards-compatibility. If two are given, one is
the source path from the host system, one is the target path inside
the chroot.

Greetings
Marc

I implemented this for myself some time ago, and submitted it to the
previous upstream repo, where it got merged. I resubmitted this again
to the new fork, as it branched from a different point in history.

Hello. The feature is present indeed in the schroot version in
bookworm, in exactly the way Marc suggested. Now the sample
"copyfiles" files have a line like this one:

# <source-and-destination>[ <destination>]

(So, I'm closing using such version)

Thanks.
