Multiple --mirror parameters may be required

[Matthew_A]

Additional --mirror parameters may be required for the following use case:

1. --mIrror[0] for image creation/installation
2. --mIrror[1] for custom application appliance packages

For example,

My deployment currently has:
--mirror "http://ubuntu.company.com/ubuntu/" \
--components main,multiverse,restricted,universe \

But I need the ability to also "apt-get install custom_application" (--addpkg custom_application). However, 'custom_application' is only available via a separate repository:

--mirror "http://ubuntu.company.com/companyname/" \
--components official \

At the moment there is no way to do to this.

vmbuilder has a "--exec SCRIPT" option which can be used to make changes to the image being built. You could pass it a simple script which appends the additional repositories to $1/apt/sources.list

Multiple mirrors is exceptional. I would advise you to change the sources.list locally template according to your needs. You can find it in /etc/vmbuilder/ubuntu/sources.list.tmpl. Optionally, you can create ~/.vmbuilder/ubuntu/ and put it there, so that it only affects a single user.
