Feature changed by: Jan Engelhardt (jengelh)
Feature #310491, revision 3
Title: Add dracut to openSUSE
openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed
Priority
Requester: Important
Requested by: Luis Medinas (lmedinas)
Description:
Dracut is suppose to be a replacement for the old initrd tools like
mkinitrd.
From the project description, dracut is an initramfs infrastructure.
Unlike previous initramfs systems, Dracut aims to have as little as
possible hard-coded into the initramfs.
It contains specific configuration files for init drivers and includes
plymouth support. Dracut advantage seems to be a modern replacement to
generate initrd and it's suppose to be easy to use/manage.

+ NEGATIVE. openSUSE has replaced its mkinitrd by a new implementation in
+ 11.2 that is equally flexible, if not even better than dracut. It
+ certainly is easier to jump into how it's supposed to work. With the
+ dracut as shipped on F-13 I can't really say the same.
+
+ If you ever ran `mkinitrd -h` on SUSE... well just try finding the
+ equivalents in dracut. You don't.
