Bug#558274: ITP: dracut -- A new initramfs infrastructure
* Philippe Seewer philippe.see...@bfh.ch [Fre Nov 27, 2009 at 03:55:10 +0100]: * Package name: dracut Version : 3.0 Upstream Author : Harald Hoyer har...@redhat.com * URL : https://sourceforge.net/projects/dracut/ * License : GPLv2 Programming Lang: Shell Description : A new initramfs infrastructure Unlike existing initramfs's, this is an attempt at having as little as possible hard-coded into the initramfs as possible. The initramfs has (basically) one purpose in life -- getting the rootfs mounted so that we can transition to the real rootfs. This is all driven off of device availability. Therefore, instead of scripts hard-coded to do various things, we depend on udev to create device nodes for us and then when we have the rootfs's device node, we mount and carry on. Having the root on MD, LVM2, LUKS is supported as well as NFS, iSCSI, NBD and FCOE. What's the current state of dracut packaging? Any chances we might see dracut included right in time for Squeeze? regards, -mika- signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Packaging is done, except for a few changes in upstream versions of dracut. Ok great. Any chances we might see dracut included right in time for Squeeze? My current workload is pretty high at the moment, but I'd like to see dracut included as well. If it helps, I'll try to squeeze in the necessary time next week. Ok fine. Would it be possible for you to become the package's sponsor, since I don't yet have one? Yes, just ping me. regards, -mika- signature.asc Description: Digital signature
