Well I've been playing with initrd all day, and I came to the conclusion |
| 2 |
that its not worth the effort try to create an in-house mkinitrd (at |
| 3 |
least for me to do it). So I'll put it in as sys-apps/mkinitrd, and add |
| 4 |
an optional selinux patch to it. I pulled it myself from the rawhide |
| 5 |
src rpm I got from rpmfind.net. What is the preferred/correct way of |
| 6 |
handling this? Should I have the ebuild pull the src.rpm and do the |
| 7 |
rpm2targz magic in src_unpack, or should I just extract the tarball from |
| 8 |
it myself, and put it on distfiles? |
