Hello everyone, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
All important modules are ported. Some need a few tweaks but generally |
| 4 |
Dracut provides the same functionality Genkernel initramfs generator |
| 5 |
does. And good news for some of you: PLYMOUTH WORKS (thanks to |
| 6 |
Martin Benz who created the ebuild). Tested it with my fork of |
| 7 |
Dracut and worked. :-) |
| 8 |

Here's summary: |
| 10 |

1. Fixed, should be OK, but not tested because setting it up is PITA |
| 29 |
and not especially important. |
| 30 |
2. Not yet in Portage tree but ebuild from Martin Benz (see #274065) |
| 31 |
works without a problem with my fork of Dracut. Martin reported tiny |
| 32 |
problem with dracut-006. I've posted workaround as dracut-006-r1. |
| 33 |
Reported problem is already properly solved in official Dracut's git |
| 34 |
repo. |
| 35 |
3. Added support for keys on external devices but it's not fully |
| 36 |
finished. Needs some more work, but it's not so important for now |
| 37 |
(since it worksforme ;-)). |
| 38 |
4. Do it later, maybe. Have to set up special environment for them, |
| 39 |
e.g. dasd is for S/390, so some emulator… |
| 40 |
5. Tested with µswsusp only. |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
Moreover I've refectored the ebuild, added new USE flags and updated |
| 43 |
dependencies. There's just kernel config check left. Ebuild works with |
| 44 |
my repo. When new version of Dracut will be released (with things I've |
| 45 |
submitted) just small details will have to be changed. |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
Now I'm switching to Genkernel integration. |
