Spiffy! While I enjoy dabbling with DebIan chroots (mmdebstrap is my goto choice) it can be annoying and I haven't tried it for cross-arch stuff. Scripts to automate it are greatly appreciated.

Now to try and fix some of the Berkeley ABC crashes on big-endian machines.
I put together a little set of recipes for generating Debian images for amd64, arm64, armhf, ppc64el, riscv64, s390x, ppc64be, and loong64 that are bootable in qemu-system - all done rootlessly, with the rootless debootstrap wrapper I shared a while ago muxup.com/2026q2/boota...

Oh sure, I have pretty good ways to build Debian images with:
debstrap
multistrap (defunct)
mmdebstrap
debos

But oh, there's a new debian strapper? Here I come I guess:
bdebstrap

oh, boo, bdebstrap is a mmdebstrap wrapper. that's fine, but less interesting to me, not really gonna be a clear upgrade for me.

I was surprised how many of these projects seemed active, but oh, on further investigation, mmdebstrap has been dead for 2 years, just... added loong64 support two weeks ago.

It's like 25% Radxa for building some crazy weird toolchains that I guess is powered by fucking jsonnet feeding into bdebstrap which is a mmdebstrap wrapped (a root of respectable reality). Worst crimes have been done.

so then i tried to use systemd-nspawn. nixos? shit documentation. the alpine chroot didn't work, bullshit about /dev/null. whatever, tried using mmdebstrap and debstrap, i don't remember why but that also didn't end up working. so finally, i gave up, docker time.
