Hello everyone, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
Most of modules are checked. Some of them needed fixes, some only |
| 4 |
needed dependency updates in ebuild. Checking involved going through |
| 5 |
install and check scripts which operate on host system, analyzing if |
| 6 |
result image looks as expected, running test if available. Sometimes |
| 7 |
problems are more or less deeply hidden. I had some with networking. |
| 8 |
Stable and ~arch dhclient gets DHCP info but doesn't assign address to |
| 9 |
interface (at least under qemu). Moreover Dracut relies on dhcp-4 and |
| 10 |
invocations are quite hardcoded. To make it work well I had to use |
| 11 |
hardmasked dhcp-4 package. I also spent quite much time (and wonder if |
| 12 |
it's not completely wasted time…) debugging fips module. Probably found |
| 13 |
the reason. Dracut installs binaries with its library dependencies. |
| 14 |
Needed sha512hmac depends on libnspr4.so.8 (ldd says so), but in fact, |
| 15 |
as strace says, it searches only for libnspr4.so (on host system |
| 16 |
there's symlink libnspr4.so → libnspr4.so.8). Dracut relies on ldd |
| 17 |
output and doesn't create reverse symlinks, so we have to enhance |
| 18 |
inst_binary function… but anyway it's strange case, especially as it |
| 19 |
has never occurred before. |

Shortly and clearly, here's what's done for now (more detailed and |
| 22 |

Moreover I've updated Ramereth's Dracut ebuild to release 006 and he's |
| 69 |
going to put it into portage tree today. There's also ebuild using my |
| 70 |
git repo in my git repo at branch gentoo in gentoo directory. :-) |
