2023-01-17	debvm-create: avoid splitting features to multiple code locations	Helmut Grohne

2023-01-17	debvm-create: stop validating the suite	Helmut 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.
2023-01-17	debvm-create: install linux-image-generic as an alternative kernel name	Helmut Grohne
	This is used on Ubuntu and thus helps with !20.
2023-01-17	debvm-create: use maybe-merged-usr hook	Helmut Grohne
	Requires mmdebstrap >= 1.3.0 Closes: #8
2023-01-17	debvm-create: defer kernel selection to apt	Helmut Grohne
	This requires mmdebstrap >= 1.3.0. Closes: #9
2023-01-15	Merge branch 'drop_mirror' into 'main'	Helmut Grohne
	Drop mirror option See merge request helmutg/debvm!24
2023-01-15	debvm-create: update documentation for dropped mirror option	Helmut Grohne

2023-01-15	debvm-create: actually drop -m from the getopts invocation	Helmut Grohne
	Fixes: 7a2b46697659 ("Drop mirror option")
2023-01-15	debvm-create: carefully handle a -o filename starting with a dash	Helmut Grohne

2023-01-15	debvm-run: fix logic inversion in parent commit	Helmut Grohne
	Reported-by: Jochen Sprickerhof <git@jochen.sprickerhof.de>
2023-01-15	debvm-run: fix for relative symlinks below boot/	Helmut Grohne
	Reported-by: Jochen Sprickerhof <git@jochen.sprickerhof.de>
2023-01-15	Apply 1 suggestion(s) to 1 file(s)	Johannes Schauer Marin Rodrigues

2023-01-15	Drop mirror option	Jochen Sprickerhof
	It is not needed and can also be done with: debvm-create -- "deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ unstable main"
2023-01-15	debvm-run: guess the location of the kernel	Helmut Grohne

2023-01-15	Document additional kernel link names	Jochen Sprickerhof
	Reported-by: Helmut Grohne <helmut@subdivi.de>
2023-01-15	Avoid unnecessary debugfs call	Jochen Sprickerhof
	Reported-by: Helmut Grohne <helmut@subdivi.de>
2023-01-15	Support kernel links in /boot (Ubuntu)	Jochen Sprickerhof

2023-01-13	change cmdline variable debvm.term to TERM	Helmut 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.
2023-01-13	debvm-create: remove --package option	Helmut 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".
2023-01-13	Merge branch main into helmut	Helmut Grohne
	Resolve conflicts in debvm-create arising from adding --skip and moving the functionality to be skipped to share/customize-*.sh.
2023-01-13	debvm-create: defer the decision of installing libnss-resolve to apt	Helmut Grohne
	Rather than check the DEBVER, let apt figure out whether it knows about a package called libnss-resolve and install it when available.
2023-01-13	automatically set up agetty TERM when possible	Helmut 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.
2023-01-12	debvm-create: also move dpkg's available database to a hook file	Helmut Grohne

2023-01-11	debvm-create: move functionality into support files	Helmut 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.
2023-01-11	move the debvm-* tools to bin	Helmut 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.
