Re: [PATCH v1 0/6] Migrate to mmdebstrap

[Henning Schild <henning.schild@siemens.com>]

I had a quick look at the changes, not so much at the code itself but
with a focus on "what would change for a user". The new runtime-dep was
already pointed out by Jan.

Feel free to already write a patch for kas, the earlier it has the tool
in the containers the better. But p6 should probably still be merged,
just in case.

Let me know if you want this tested on some layer, maybe giving a hint
on which aspects would deserve testing that might not yet be in CI. We
have many layers that use "frozen partial mirrors" and additional repos
that use custom gpg keys.

regards,
Henning
