Hi,
As you might know, for quite some time `mkinitrd` is just an incomplete wrapper that internally calls `dracut` and `update-bootloader` (unless it's called with `-B`).
Finally, all known packages that required it in their spec file or were found to be using it have been fixed. Hence, it's time to move on. The next `dracut` update in Factory will not provide the `dracut-mkinitrd-deprecated` package. This is planned to be submitted in mid-April, before 2023-04-14, so if you still use `mkinitrd` in any of your packages or custom scripts, please replace it with `dracut` (plus `update-bootloader` if necessary).
Please advise us users what exact command concoction to use instead. Me, and many others, are used to just run "mkinitrd" for many years.
This deprecation was announced a while ago - I have also been used to mkinitrd, but for the last few initrds, I've switched to dracut. man dracut ? man dracut.conf ? (very cool feature, btw). Anyway, when you run "mkinitrd" it clearly says what your mkinitrd options were translated to, I think it's the first line of output or at least one of the very first. That is a good starting point. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (16.4°C) Member, openSUSE Heroes (2016 - present) We're hiring - https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Heroes
