[buildd-tools-devel] Bug#572034: schroot: in file mode, installed files are not added back to the archive

[Ritesh Raj Sarraf]

Package: schroot
Version: 1.4.0-1
Severity: normal

I have an schroot environment for Lenny based on file mode.

[lenny]
type=file
description=Debian Lenny
#directory=/var/tmp/chroot
file=/var/tmp/chroot/lenny.tar.gz
priority=2
groups=root,rrs-lenny
users=rrs-lenny
aliases=lenny,default
run-setup-scripts=true


I chroot into it and install a bunch of applications. When I exit the
environment, the changes that were done are all lost.
Shouldn't they be retained ?

This expected behavior is present with directory mode.


Regards,
Ritesh
