(In reply to Martin Wilck from comment #7)
(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.

That's reason to reassign enhancement request elsewhere, not close. Packaging scripts or whatever Debian has been doing for eons ought to be able to do something. Martin, any suggestions? Initrds are getting built much too often. With Leap 15.3+ and NVidia GPUs both kernel-default and kernel-default-extra are needed for FOSS graphics drivers. Installing a new pair: # zypper -v in kernel-default kernel-default-extra (or rpm -iv rather than zypper in) 1-installs kernel-default 2-builds (incomplete) initrd 3-installs kernel-default-extra 4-builds (complete) initrd # -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
