Hi all,
I'm pleased to announce the release of mkinitcpio 0.7.3. This is largely
a maintenance release with a number of bugfixes and cleanups. I've
highlighted the new features and some of the bug fixes below, followed by
the full shortlog.
Thanks to Sebastien Luttringer and Florian Pritz for their contributions
in this release.
Please test and signoff.
Regards,
Dave
Features:
--------------------------------------
- The 'keymap' and 'consolefont' hooks now source /etc/rc.conf instead of
parsing the file. This allows for better support by non-sysvinit init
systems. Implements FS#24685.
- Modules in build hooks as well as in the MODULES array of
mkinitcpio.conf can be suffixed with a '?' character. If the module is
not found, it's considerd a soft failure and no error is reported.
Implements FS#25096.
- Early userspace now supports dropping to a shell before or after
mounting the root device. The kernel commandline syntax leverages the
'break' variable with the values 'premount' and 'postmount'. The
former behavior remains unchanged, and is a synonym for 'premount'.
- Introduce a new 'virtio' build hook for use with QEMU.
Bugfixes:
--------------------------------------
- Properly delimit data from /sys to work around modalias files with bad
data. Fixes FS#25450.
- Compare constants to variable values, rather than the reverse. This
prevents an error on parsing grub2 ROOT_IMAGE variables. Fixes
FS#26119.
- Mount /run with exec permissions. This is done to mirror initscripts.
- Perform path lookup for binaries with respect to a given basedir
instead of the real root.
- Insist that /dev and /proc be mounted at runtime. Required for usage
of bash's process substitutions.
- Explicitly create the buildroot rather than letting it be created by
the first run build hook. This avoids errors when HOOKS is empty, as
seen in https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=966344.
