Hi, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
Here's the next batch of patches to the dist-kernel framework. This |
| 4 |
includes: |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
1. Introducing a new dist-kernel-utils.eclass that can be used |
| 7 |
by packages that need some logic related to dist-kernel but do not |
| 8 |
want to fight the phase functions exported by the current eclasses. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
2. Adding a new dist-kernel_reinstall_initramfs function that triggers |
| 11 |
initramfs rebuild and installkernel for the currently installed |
| 12 |
dist-kernel (if any). |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
The primary use case is ensuring that the necessary kernel modules |
| 16 |
are included in the initramfs for the newly built kernel. This relies |
| 17 |
on the dist-kernel flag introduced by the previous patchset, that |
| 18 |
triggers module rebuilds on kernel upgrade. Technically, the process |
| 19 |
is: |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
1. New kernel is installed, with 'broken' initramfs. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
2. Modules are rebuilt, via slot operator rebuilds. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
3. When important modules are rebuilt, initramfs is updated via their |
| 26 |
postinst. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
This was requested for sys-fs/zfs-kmod, and the patch for it is included |
| 29 |
in the thread. However, I do not use ZFS, so I'd appreciate if someone |
| 30 |
who does did a real-system testing. |
