COMPRESS=xz support for mkinitramfs

2011-02-16 Thread trentbuck
Hi, now that upstream linux-2.6 kernels support xz-compressed ramdisks, I would like update-initramfs to support generating them. This minimal patch WORKS FOR ME: $ sed '/lzop/ {p; s/lzop/xz/g; }' /usr/sbin/mkinitramfs | diff -pud /usr/sbin/mkinitramfs - --- /usr/sbin/mkinitramfs

Bug#579336: update-initramfs: recognize (and ignore?) moduleless/ramdiskless kernels.
