(In reply to Felix Miata from comment #6) IMO, openSUSE should also have an admin option not to rebuild, regardless of use case. What I do on openSUSE is set immutable flag on initrds. It doesn't stop the rebuild waste of CPU cycles and SSD writes, but I get the result I want.
Fair enough. Please open a feature request. [/quote]:
On Debians there's been this to implement admin preference since forever: # cat /etc/initramfs-tools/update-initramfs.conf # # Configuration file for update-initramfs(8) # # # update_initramfs [ yes | all | no ] # # Default is yes # If set to all update-initramfs will update all initramfs # If set to no disables any update to initramfs beside kernel upgrade update_initramfs=no # # backup_initramfs [ yes | no ] # # Default is no # If set to no leaves no .bak backup files. backup_initramfs=no -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
