I could take one of them over, Raymond. Don't have any particular knowledge about either package, but I've got the time.
Hi Shawn,
Great. Thanks a lot. As discussed on IRC, I will transfer today the "ownership" of DRACUT to you on OBS and bugzilla.
Only package remaining is Plymouth and I guess that people rather see it disappear than to help out.
No, I don't want to see it disappear at all (since it has replaced all other boot splash alternative, for the good) but I don't have time to maintain it.
How long does the average system nowadays take until X starts up? If there is a black screen for a few seconds, so what? That's the time the initrd takes to load if plymouth is in there anyways ;-)
Plymouth also allows smooth transition (no flicker) between splash and display manager.
Ok, that sentence compares plymouth to other splash solutions but it makes no statement about the situation compared to a boot with no splash at all. Isn't it simply bootloader -> resolution switch -> black screen -> X rather than bootloader -> resolution switch -> fancy screen -> X
And it can display a non frightening UI to request passphrase for encrypted disk.
It could but it doesn't in 13.1 because it's broken. So plymouth gets disabled if root is encrypted and the initrd prompts in text mode. cu Ludwig -- (o_ Ludwig Nussel //\ V_/_ http://www.suse.de/ SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
