Package: lxc-templates
Version: 3.0.4-5
Severity: normal
Tags: patch chimaera ceres

Dear Maintainer,

There is no official way to build an LXC container running a Devuan host.
I modified /usr/share/lxc/templates/lxc-debian so that it can install Devuan
as attached diff.
I tested the modified template by the following two cases
on Devuan Chimaera amd64 host:

lxc-create -n devuan-beowulf -t devuan -- -F --enable-non-free -r beowulf
lxc-create -n beowulf-arm64 -t devuan -- -F --enable-non-free -r beowulf -a arm64

Best regards, Ryutaroh Matsumoto

Thanks for this. However Devuan doesn't fork any of the lxc pacakges and uses
Debian's pacakges directly without recompilation. This is probably best included
by submitting upstream, either to Debian or perhaps better
https://linuxcontainers.org/.

Are you able to do one of those?

Thanks

Mark

I tend to disagree. Because

* linuxcontainers.org dropped support of templates other then "download".
   They actively maintain only the "download" template.
* Now each distro. seems having responsibility to maintain its own version of
   template, if that distro. is not satisfied with "download" template.
* Debian package maintainers maintains the Debian template, see
https://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs//main/l/lxc-templates/lxc-templates_3.0.4-5_changelog
* "download" template only provides the limited choices of Devuan as
# lxc-create -n test -t download -- -d devuan
Setting up the GPG keyring
Downloading the image index

By the above observation, in my view,

(1) Attaching "upstream" to this issue is inappropriate. This is not an upstream issue.
(2) The question is whether or not Devuan is satisfied with "download"
template as above. If yes, attaching "wontfix" tag or closure of this issue is
appropriate.

Best regards, Ryutaroh

Looking at
https://salsa.debian.org/lxc-team/lxc-templates/-/tree/debian/unstable/templates,
Debian also has support for many other distros. Asking them to include Devuan
would seem to get the best coverage. 

Devuan doesn't fork lxc-templates. Even if we were to do so, only users of the
forked package would benefit from your suggested updates. If it is included in
Debian, then it will also benefit Debian itself and all derivatives.

Mark
