I believe this would previously embed the static qemu binary into the chroot half way through the build process. The tool is currently deprecated because qemu now supports the [binfmt F flag](https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/admin-guide/binfmt-misc.html) and deploys the binfmt config using this by default, so a qemu binary in the chroot is no longer required. + +It would be nice if box64 could also work this way, so it could function like a drop-in replacement, and require fewer steps for these kinds of tasks. \ No newline at end of file |
