Add raring as a symlink to gutsy

[Barry Warsaw]

[ Description ]

Can't debootstrap raring on quantal because there is no script.

[ Test case ]

(quantal-amd64)root@iota:/home/laney/temp# debootstrap raring .
E: No such script: /usr/share/debootstrap/scripts/raring
# install the new package
(quantal-amd64)root@iota:/home/laney/temp# dpkg -i debootstrap_1.0.42ubuntu0.1_all.deb

(quantal-amd64)root@iota:/home/laney/temp# debootstrap raring foo
I: Retrieving InRelease

[ Regression potential ]

It could be that the existing script doesn't work for raring.

[ Original description ]

Well, it's time for the usual post-release/next-release fiddling.

Quantal's debootstrap needs to add scripts/raring (13.04) as a symlink to gutsy in order to support raring chroots on 12.10.

Adam, can you update your patch against debootstrap 1.0.39ubuntu0.1 from precise-updates and close this bug in debian/changelog?

[Adam Stokes (adam-stokes)]

Oops forgot to add that in the changelog, I'll re-do that now, thanks Benjamin

[Adam Stokes (adam-stokes)]

Updated patch to reflect precise-updates version and updated changelog to reflect LP

[Benjamin Drung (bdrung)]

Adam, I have uploaded your debootstap 1.0.39ubuntu0.2 to precise-proposed (with raring changed back to a symlink as the patch tool cannot express symlinks).
