For the first one, I don't see any possible optimizations as that this would be the bare minimum. For the second, I guess we have some duplication in the backgrounds, but this is due to the different screen ratios and we want to have the Geeko looking good on any screen. So little possible here. For the third one, this would be completely different. If it would be decided to drop displaying text during the plymouth bootsplash, then we can drop the category. No need for Pango and Cairo. Plymouth will only display images and that is it. The main reason why we have this is the encrypted partitions for which a password is being requested during boot-up (cryptsetup). Another option would be to drop the Plymouth support from the initrd and to have systemd starting the bootsplash. This would reduce the overall size of the initrd, but would introduce the effect that we have some non-animated boot progress between Grub and when systemd starts plymouth. At this moment I am not sure if plymouth is the first service that is being started by systemd Copying frederic crozat (systemd) and Richard Brown (Plymouth theme). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
