We document some of this on the wiki but lets move it into our
official developer notes documentation.

docker-binfmt-image-debian-% targets
------------------------------------
It is possible to combine Debian's bootstrap scripts with a configured
``binfmt_misc`` to bootstrap a number of Debian's distros including
experimental ports not yet supported by a released OS. This can
simplify setting up a rootfs by using docker to contain the foreign
rootfs rather than manually invoking chroot.
Setting up ``binfmt_misc``
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You can use the script ``qemu-binfmt-conf.sh`` to configure a QEMU
user binary to automatically run binaries for the foreign
architecture. While the scripts will try their best to work with
dynamically linked QEMU's a statically linked one will present less
potential complications when copying into the docker image. Modern
kernels support the ``F`` (fix binary) flag which will open the QEMU
executable on setup and avoids the need to find and re-open in the
chroot environment. This is triggered with the ``--persistent`` flag.
Example invocation
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For example to setup the HPPA ports builds of Debian::
make docker-binfmt-image-debian-sid-hppa \
DEB_TYPE=sid DEB_ARCH=hppa \
DEB_URL=http://ftp.ports.debian.org/debian-ports/ \
DEB_KEYRING=/usr/share/keyrings/debian-ports-archive-keyring.gpg \
EXECUTABLE=(pwd)/qemu-hppa V=1
The ``DEB_`` variables are substitutions used by
``debian-boostrap.pre`` which is called to do the initial debootstrap
of the rootfs before it is copied into the container. The second stage
is run as part of the build. The final image will be tagged as
``qemu/debian-sid-hppa``.
