Hello everyone,

2

3

Genkernel

4

5

    * removed old initramfs builder code – above 12.000 lines

6

    * converted man page from troff to DocBook (by hand and that's why

7

      so pretty ;-)) and updated to recent changes in Genkernel

8

    * some minor fixes

9

10

Catalyst

11

12

    * patch just removes a few unnecessary lines and add --generic

13

      (Genkernel produces --hostonly initramfs by default)

17

   1. sys-boot/plymouth

18

      Added new package. Ebuild taken from bug #274065. I've done some

19

      minor fixes and reposted as plymouth-0.8.3-r2.ebuild and

20

      plymouth-0.8.3-r3.ebuild

21

   2. dev-util/catalyst

22

      Nothing new, just copied from Portage tree and updated Git

23

      URI.

24

   3. sys-kernel/genkernel

25

      Completely rewritten. Shortly:

26

          * use my fork of Genkernel

27

          * depend on >=dracut-007

28

          * install bash-completion script only if bash-completion USE

29

            flag is enabled

30

          * removed download of additional packages since Dracut takes

31

            required things from the system

32

          * using ebuild functions instead of cp, sed and others

33

          * DocBook related dependencies

34

   4. sys-kernel/dracut

35

      Changes:

36

          * fixed QA warning

37

          * warning about QEMU

38

          * 9999 version has plymouth dependency now

39

40

What still needs to be done

41

42

    * test Catalyst with new Genkernel

43

    * netboot substitute
