Version 0.0.11 of yaird is now available at: http://www.xs4all.nl/~ekonijn/yaird/yaird-0.0.11.tar.gz
Yaird is a proof of concept perl rewrite of mkinitrd. It aims to reliably identify the necessary modules by using the same algorithms as hotplug, and comes with a template system to to tune the tool for different distributions and experiment with different image layouts. It requires a 2.6 kernel with hotplug. There is a paper discussing it at: http://www.xs4all.nl/~ekonijn/yaird/yaird.html Summary of user visible changes: * Support configuration file that determines what the generated image should do. It replaces command line options for root file system selection and for NFS support. * The file /etc/hotplug/blacklist does not have to exist: this can be a machine without hotplug, or with a future hotplug version, where blacklisting is delegated to module-init-tools. Based on patch by Marian Andre <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * Bugfix: expect characters A-Z, in kernel config entries. * Handle kernels that do not have ide-generic. Changes in version 0.0.10 and 0.0.9 were too small to merit an announcement: * Support legacy keyboard compiled as module. * Place the docs under GPL instead of GFDL for the benefit of Debian.
