Public bug reported: in Ubuntu, we added a change for:
Add busybox-initramfs binary package and initramfs flavour currently w/ git-ubuntu ubuntu/devel branch at commit e96dc506174e2b1690cd3ef1d4ee61652106a358 There will need a little rework, such as with commit 1c4113f056a68a149509659cd437cfe630e95784 where we'll need to ship zz- busybox in the standard busybox package for use in initramfs-tools, ensure that busybox is used for initramfs-tools and not busybox- initramfs, and likely other small changes. the addition of a pared down binary was rejected in Debian, and maintaining the delta for a slightly smaller install in the initrds isn't worth the tradeoff in 2026 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1135987 ** Affects: busybox (Ubuntu) Importance: Wishlist Status: New ** Affects: initramfs-tools (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Description changed: in Ubuntu, we added a change for: Add busybox-initramfs binary package and initramfs flavour currently w/ git-ubuntu ubuntu/devel branch at commit e96dc506174e2b1690cd3ef1d4ee61652106a358 There will need a little rework, such as with commit 1c4113f056a68a149509659cd437cfe630e95784 where we'll need to ship zz- busybox in the standard busybox package for use in initramfs-tools, ensure that busybox is used for initramfs-tools and not busybox- initramfs, and likely other small changes. + + the addition of a pared down binary was rejected in Debian, and + maintaining the delta for a slightly smaller install in the initrds + isn't worth the tradeoff in 2026 + + https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1135987 ** Changed in: busybox (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Wishlist -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2157328 Title: drop busybox-initramfs Ubuntu only package To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/busybox/+bug/2157328/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
