Linux Emulation

Summary

This is somewhat similar to emulators/linux_base-c7, except:

It's from Ubuntu Focal
It's one port instead of many small ones
It installs under /usr/local/compat/linux, not /compat/linux

Obviously it needs some adjusting for various mounts, changing
the compat.linux.emul_path etc; I'll do that later on.

Note that this is not a proper chroot or jail. Everything
normally configured by the package triggers is missing, because
we don't execute them, only unpack. I think this shouldn't cause
any problems, but if it does, it's to be addresssed at install
time.

Note that this is mostly a prototype at this stage; still, any feedback is welcome.

12	amd64 (and i386) are in archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu

12	Thanks! Do you know if it's safe to assume that the package set, ie the list of packages, their versions, and the package file names (apart from the "arm64" part) will stay the same between arm64 and amd64?

12	In Ubuntu the versions should be for releases. In Debian the versions almost are in releases, except for when there are binNMUs for rebuilds and you can get skew, but Ubuntu doesn't do binNMUs, it just does no-change source uploads so everything's always in sync. For the list of essential and required packages I expect they're the same between aarch64 and amd64, though it'd be worth verifying.

3	Hmm, including GUI stuff seems like it'd be more likely to diverge between architectures. gnome-software is also a strange choice?
398	Other arches?
401	You probably want to error if the target doesn't exist, otherwise things will silently break in future versions

3	I'm afraid we really need the GUI part; most of the ports that would make use of this are graphical apps. As for "gnome-software" - I'm open to suggestions. Tbh I've already had to add some libraries by hand, and remove a few others.
398	Neither i386 nor aarch64 seem to require this kind of fix.
401	Shouldn't it error out as it is, given it's a makefile?
