[opensuse-factory] mkinitrd or dracut ?
by Raymond Wooninck 05 Nov '12

05 Nov '12

Unfortunately it is a public holiday in Austria and therefore I have too much time to play around with the system and come up with stupid ideas :-) But as I am used to live on bleeding edge technology and software, I have been using the 3.7 kernel from Kernel:HEAD and faced some issues with it. At the moment I am running the rc3 version and my previous issues seemed to have been resolved and the kernel is flying :-) However due to another bug in Factory regarding mkinitrd, I had to find another way of creating the required initrd to be able to boot the system with the new kernel. All my attempts with mkinitrd ended either without an initrd image or with a non-bootable image. On IRC I got the indication that openSUSE also has the dracut package which is an alternative to mkinitrd. I installed the required dracut packages and could very easily generate the initrd and bring it into grub. When I booted, I was somehow surprised how fast it actually was and I am wondering if this is due to dracut or the new kernel. Again based on the current status of mkinitrd (and the fact that the above bug somehow seems to take quite some time to be resolved) I really wonder if we have to keep the old mkinitrd functionality or that we should go with a newer technology which is used by more distributions. Especially as that we are already providing working packages for dracut.

[opensuse-factory] To PackageKit or not to PackageKit
by Raymond Wooninck 05 Nov '12

05 Nov '12

Hello listmates.... I know that most likely I will be causing another flamewar on this mailinglist, but I hope that we can keep the discussion to facts and to the point. As the subject already indicates I would like to know what the openSUSE community plan is for PackageKit. At this moment we have version 0.7.4 in Factory, despite that upstream already delivered version 0.8.5. I have tried to package 0.8.5, but it seems that in this version the zypp backend is not maintained ( My assumption here is that openSUSE did the maintainance for this part as that libzypp is only used by openSUSE). Based on the above status and also seeing discussions on the opensuse-kde ml regarding how Apper is working as an update notifier, I have the feeling that we as a community should take a decision. At this moment I don't see anything that is offered as a small package update notifier (nor on KDE nor on GNOME side) that works directly with zypper or with yast. Both desktops have been using PackageKit for this (or tools based using PackageKit), but it seems that PackageKit is not really supported by our zypp/YaST community. So the question is will we keep PackageKit in our openSUSE distro or not ? If yes, then the zypp/YaST community should have a look at the latest version and make the zypp backend build and work again. If not, do we have alternatives that we can offer to the users as a small systray utility that notifies them when updates are available ?
