Hi,
In an effort to get the naming right. I would like to propose renaming the /boot/initrd-$(uname -r) images to /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img.
Rationale: We are not using initrd's (that is: actual block devices) for a long time now. Instead, an initramfs is a cpio archive that gets deflated to a tmpfs. And, this would allow me to drop some more of our vendor patches off dracut.
I am currently collecting affected packages. So far I found:
- aaa_base (refresh_initrd script)
- YaST
- grub
- kdump
- perl-Bootloader
Anything I am missing?
The kernel-default and co who own those initrd files.
And that'll be tricky -- if we rename it, which file name to be packaged would depend on dracut package, but dracut isn't included in the build requirement for the kernel binary package. So we can't know whether dracut prefers initramfs or initrd at the package build time.
Just make the kernel Conflict with dracut package version prior to the change, and that should be enough. -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
