[elbe-devel] buildchroot subcommand missing in elbe v1.1 (Debian jessie)

[Lukasz Walewski]

Hi Manuel,

Thank you very much for your explanations.

>The buildchroot subcommand is only available inside the initvm:

... however, elbe v0.9.4 obviously used to support the 'buildchroot' subcommand directly:

lwa at jessie:~$ ./elbe/elbe
elbe v0.9.4
need a subcommand: e.g. 'elbe init'.
    Available subcommands are:

        * adjustpkgs
        * bootup-check
        * buildchroot
[...]

I took over a project that was bound to that particular version of Elbe - the dependency that I am struggling to relax right now - therefore my attempts to understand what has changed since then.

Am I right, that the historic version did not have this feature, i.e. it did not create an 'initvm' to decouple from the host machine, but instead performed the image generation natively?

Best,
Lukasz
