Feature changed by: Jan Engelhardt (jengelh) Feature #310491, revision 3 Title: Add dracut to openSUSE openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Luis Medinas (lmedinas) Description: Dracut is suppose to be a replacement for the old initrd tools like mkinitrd. From the project description, dracut is an initramfs infrastructure. Unlike previous initramfs systems, Dracut aims to have as little as possible hard-coded into the initramfs. It contains specific configuration files for init drivers and includes plymouth support. Dracut advantage seems to be a modern replacement to generate initrd and it's suppose to be easy to use/manage. + Discussion: + #1: Jan Engelhardt (jengelh) (2010-09-19 17:02:28) + NEGATIVE. openSUSE has replaced its mkinitrd by a new implementation in + 11.2 that is equally flexible, if not even better than dracut. It + certainly is easier to jump into how it's supposed to work. With the + dracut as shipped on F-13 I can't really say the same. + + If you ever ran `mkinitrd -h` on SUSE... well just try finding the + equivalents in dracut. You don't. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310491
