2023-01-17debvm-create: install an initramfs generatorHelmut Grohne
On Debian, the linux images depend on linux-initramfs-tool, so this isn't actually a change here. On Ubuntu, this dependency is missing, so we actually add it. Unfortunately, initramfs-tools fails to install as it cannot determine the root filesystem type. Reported-by: Jochen Sprickerhof <git@jochen.sprickerhof.de>
2023-01-17debvm-create: install only one kernel imageHelmut Grohne
The apt pattern ?or does not short-circuit. It installs any pattern matching one of the arguments. On amd64, we thus get both the cloud and the non-cloud variant. There aren't that many good options to fix this, so the next best way is using a hook and running apt again, which is suboptimal in terms of repeated triggers, but likely the best we can do at present.

2023-01-17expand architecture coverageHelmut Grohne
Give an example of how to use it with ports and add a few architecture-specific cases. Note that m68k and sparc64 do not actually work, because they lack PCI.
2023-01-17debvm-create: combine ?exact-name with ?not(virtual)Helmut Grohne
When apt encounters a package that does not exist, but is referenced via Recommends, Suggests, Breaks or otherwise, it errors out with a missing installation candidate. This happens for linux-image-generic on buster. To avoid this situation, we specifically ask apt to not consider virtual packages whenever we use ?exact-name.

2023-01-17debvm-create: avoid splitting features to multiple code locationsHelmut Grohne
2023-01-17debvm-create: stop validating the suiteHelmut Grohne
The only DEBVER check left checks for jessie. We can just compare the name instead. Thus we no longer reject Ubuntu suites such as jammy. This helps with !20, but not yet with #10.
2023-01-17debvm-create: install linux-image-generic as an alternative kernel nameHelmut Grohne
This is used on Ubuntu and thus helps with !20.

reduce usage of DEBVER See merge request helmutg/debvm!22
2023-01-13change cmdline variable debvm.term to TERMHelmut Grohne
Jochen Sprickerhof found that systemd interprets the TERM variable according to our intended meaning and applies it to pid 1. It doesn't apply it to serial-getty, though so we keep that code for now.
2023-01-13debvm-create: remove --package optionHelmut Grohne
This option was meant to make it convenient to add packages, but mmdebstrap's --include provides the same convenience at more flexibility. You can provide apt patterns there provided that you use multiple --include options. So rather than duplicate this functionality under a different name, just refer to mmdebstrap thus reinforcing the notion of being a thin wrapper. This also removes the convenience of overriding the kernel image. You need to use --skip=kernel when passing --include=linux-image-something to mmdebstrap now. This implements "explicit is better than implicit".
2023-01-13Merge branch main into helmutHelmut Grohne
Resolve conflicts in debvm-create arising from adding --skip and moving the functionality to be skipped to share/customize-*.sh.
2023-01-13Merge branch 'skip' into 'main'Helmut Grohne
debvm-create: add a --skip option See merge request helmutg/debvm!21
2023-01-13debvm-create: add --skip=kernelHelmut Grohne
2023-01-13debvm-create: defer the decision of installing libnss-resolve to aptHelmut Grohne
Rather than check the DEBVER, let apt figure out whether it knows about a package called libnss-resolve and install it when available.
2023-01-13automatically set up agetty TERM when possibleHelmut Grohne
* debvm-create will now parse a new kernel cmdline debvm.term and if present will pass its value to agetty as TERM. * debvm-run will now detect whether it is running in a terminal in non-graphic mode and pass its environment TERM variable as debvm.term to the kernel cmdline thus closing the loop.
2023-01-12debvm-create: also move dpkg's available database to a hook fileHelmut Grohne
2023-01-11debvm-create: move functionality into support filesHelmut Grohne
The benefit of this change is that we don't have to escape that much. As a consequence, it becomes easier to put more code into the customization hooks, which have access to installed package versions. Thus we can reduce the use of DEBVER and thus improve working with snapshot.d.o.
2023-01-11CI: attempt to fix by not using a relative path in $PATHHelmut Grohne
2023-01-11Merge branch main into skipHelmut Grohne

2023-01-11debvm-run: fix typo in error pathHelmut Grohne
2023-01-11move the debvm-* tools to binHelmut Grohne
The purpose of this change is adding support files to be referenced and called from these tools. Those support files shall be located in ../share and this way of locating them shall work both in-source and when installed.
