debootstrap is a tool which will install a Debian base system into
a subdirectory of another, already installed system. It doesn't require
an installation CD, just access to a Debian repository.
In FreeBSD, you can use debootstrap to install Debian into a subdirectory
of your existing FreeBSD installation and then run Debian Linux in a jail
or chroot.
To successfully create an installation of Debian or Ubuntu
debootstrap requires the following kernel modules to be loaded:
linux64 fdescfs linprocfs linsysfs tmpfs
To install Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver) into /compat/ubuntu, run as root:
debootstrap bionic /compat/ubuntu
sysutils/debootstrap: Update to 1.0.128+nmu2+deb12u2
- This version fixes a problem where debootstrap would fail to
install the previously removed usr-is-merged package on
Trixie/Sid: E: Couldn't find these debs: usr-is-merged
- Depend on devel/pcre2 instead of devel/pcre:
- devel/pcre doesn't support the E switch.
- devel/pcre is EOLed by upstream.
- Fix "Failed to take /etc/passwd lock: Invalid argument" error.
- Pet portfmt.

sysutils/debootstrap: switch the port from using gnugrep to pcregrep
Dependency on GNU grep had been originally added to avoid a pathological
corner case in BSD grep, where it's about two orders of magnitude slower
than GNU grep. As it occurs with one particular pattern type, it could
instead be solved by depending on pcregrep rather than gnugrep.
Submitter prefers this solution because pcregrep is already required by
other programs and does not have potential conflicts with the BSD grep
from the base.

sysutils/debootstrap: Fix PORTVERSION
PORTVERSION may not contain '-', use 'n' instead to include nmu number
from debian.
Approved by: tcberner (mentor)
Pointy-Hat: zirias
sysutils/debootstrap: Update to 1.0.128-2
For a debian-native package, a +nmuX version should be considered a new
upstream version (it just means "non mantainer upload" there). Derive
some PORTVERSION from that that's sane for our versioning.
While here, eliminate hardcoded /usr/local from Makefile patch.

Remove WWW entries moved into port Makefiles
Commit b7f05445c00f has added WWW entries to port Makefiles based on
WWW: lines in pkg-descr files.
This commit removes the WWW: lines of moved-over URLs from these
pkg-descr files.
Approved by: portmgr (tcberner)
Add WWW entries to port Makefiles
It has been common practice to have one or more URLs at the end of the
ports' pkg-descr files, one per line and prefixed with "WWW:". These
URLs should point at a project website or other relevant resources.
Access to these URLs required processing of the pkg-descr files, and
they have often become stale over time. If more than one such URL was
present in a pkg-descr file, only the first one was tarnsfered into
the port INDEX, but for many ports only the last line did contain the
port specific URL to further information.
There have been several proposals to make a project URL available as
a macro in the ports' Makefiles, over time.

sysutils/debootstrap: use gnugrep
Debootstrap triggers some weird corner case in our base grep(1),
where it's two orders of magnitude slower than it should be.
Fix it by providing it with GNU grep. This reduces the time
to complete 'debootstrap bionic' from ~4m30s to ~1m30s.

sysutils/deboostrap: make it use bash, mount fdescfs,
ignore --configure errors
For some reason, when run with stock sh(1) the script aborts just
after 'Unpacking the base system'.
The fdescfs mount fixes 'dpkg --configure' for rsyslog. Note that
there are also some kernel patches required to make it work completely.
The fdescfs is not enough to fix everything, though, so just ignore
'dpkg --configure' errors for Bionic; they don't break anything important.

update sysutils/debootstrap to 1.0.89
debootstrap (1.0.89) unstable; urgency=medium
[ Simon McVittie ]
* Instead of creating a /dev/ptmx - pts/ptmx symlink unconditionally,
try mknod with "c 5 2" parameters first, and fall back to a symlink
only if it fails. This should help with various tools like pbuilder,
sbuild, and schroot (Closes: #817236).
* Add autopkgtest support to test various scenarios.
