--- Begin Message ---Package: initramfs-tools Version: 0.100 Severity: normal Tags: patch Dear Maintainer, when creating kernel package by other means than make-kpkg (e.g. using the kernel's make deb-pkg target), initrd creation cannot be disabled easily, since the appropriate script checks whether $KERNEL_PACKAGE_VERSION is set, for a reason that seems entirely unclear to me. The patch below removes the superfluous check: diff --git a/kernel/postinst.d/initramfs-tools b/kernel/postinst.d/initramfs-tools index 76bb7ee..42474c7 100755 --- a/kernel/postinst.d/initramfs-tools +++ b/kernel/postinst.d/initramfs-tools @@ -9,8 +9,8 @@ if [ -z "${version}" ]; then exit 2 fi -# exit if custom kernel does not need an initramfs -if [ -n "${KERNEL_PACKAGE_VERSION}" ] && [ "$INITRD" = 'No' ]; then +# exit if kernel does not need an initramfs +if [ "$INITRD" = 'No' ]; then exit 0 fi (As a followup, I have a straightforward patch for the kernel ready that allows easily disabling initrd when invoking make deb-kpkg; but the patch cannot work as-is before this change without also setting fake KERNEL_PACKAGE_VERSION, which might confuse some other script.) -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=cs_CZ.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages initramfs-tools depends on: ii cpio 2.11-7 ii findutils 4.4.2-4 ii klibc-utils 2.0~rc3-1 ii module-init-tools 3.16-1 ii udev 175-3.1 Versions of packages initramfs-tools recommends: ii busybox 1:1.19.3-5 Versions of packages initramfs-tools suggests: ii bash-completion 1:1.99-3 -- no debconf information
