mkosi-initrd: initial enablement for Tumbleweed
Hi! For those of you who want to experiment with an alternative initrd generator, I've prepared the initial enablement of mkosi-initrd for Tumbleweed. Why is it interesting and different from other initrd generators? Mainly, because it builds the initrd from distro packages instead of picking everything from your local host. Analysis and instructions: https://en.opensuse.org/Mkosi-initrd *A big warning here*: this is just a proof of concept, an incomplete initrd can break the system boot, so always keep a copy of a working image. Feedback is appreciated. Have fun! -- Antonio Álvarez Feijoo System Boot and Init SUSE

How is this supposed to work in practice when the distribution could already have moved further than the local installation? E.g. when rebuilding initramfs in TW without updating the rest of the OS. Picking everything from local host has the advantage that it assures that the components match the ones used on the host.
