It's on my responsibilities list and a progress has been made. I'm |
| 12 |
currently overloaded since few months, but it is eventually going to be. |
| 13 |
(It's not so simple as just invoking dracut. Integration is a bit more |
| 14 |
complicated.) |

It will take some time to finally integrate dracut into genkernel, but |
| 21 |
making dracut more official tool until this time is possible to |
| 22 |
accomplish in the nearest future. Although first we need to introduce |
| 23 |
/run into stable baselayout. If you all decide on the matter and the |
| 24 |
way through dracut is chosen, just let me know and I'll try stabilize |
| 25 |
and write docs about dracut as soon as possible. |
| 26 |
|

|
| 28 |
Despite it's easily possible to workaround the problem with initramfs, |
| 29 |
it's really bad issue that the world is breaking FHS instead of |
| 30 |
designing something new. (Yes, I know it's so big deal that's |
| 31 |
impossible… but… doh…) |
