Hello Mailinglist,

I like to announce the version 0.2 of my multistrap wrapper initally 
introduced with:
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.debian.devel.embedded/5984

http://gitorious.org/dockstar/emdebian-multistrap/trees/v0.2
v0.2 - refactor release
=======================
- use GNU Make instead of shell scripts
- qemu target for testing (make qemutest_wheezy_config,make 
ext2image,make qemu_launch)
- generic multistrap template (wheezy,sid)
- help for building local Debian/EmdebianGrip repos/mirrors
   (http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.debian.devel.embedded/6053
 
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.debian.devel.embedded/6075/focus=6077
    http://wiki.debian.org/Multistrap/PartialMirrors)
- userland config and machine specifics may be applied independantly 
(e.g. test userland config in qemu)


The purpose of this mini project is to create Debian RootFileSystems 
(similar to Rootstock for ubuntu) with a basic preconfiguration. This is 
very much the same than debian-live. Unfortunatly, debian live is 
(currently) not able to build armel rootfs on an amd64 host (multistrap 
is listed on rfc page for debian live: http://live.debian.net/devel/rfc/).

This Makefile-set fills this gap. The middle term goal should be the 
usage of debian-live once it is able to cross "build".

Kind regards,
Marcus
