Summary0009087: building kali on debian - unclear docu
Description

Dear maintainers,

on https://www.kali.org/docs/development/live-build-a-custom-kali-iso/ you write, that ./build.sh shall be edited.

You write, in the following snippet, the term "exit" shall be commented out.


$ cat build.sh
[...]
ver_debootstrap=$(dpkg-query -f '${Version}' -W debootstrap)
if dpkg --compare-versions "$ver_debootstrap" lt "1.0.97"; then
echo "ERROR: You need debootstrap (>= 1.0.97), you have $ver_debootstrap" >&2
exit 1
fi
[...]
$


However, in ./build.sh there is no line "ver_debootstrap=$(dpkg-query -f '${Version}' -W debootstrap)" or similar. Is this for an older build.sh?

I alway get the latest update from git by using the command:

git pull origin master

IMO this should also download the latest build.sh.

Do I something wrong?

Thanks for reading this.

Best regards

Hans
