No, that is incorrect. It is true that yaird silently ignore some of the newer initramfs-tools extensions to the mkinitrd interface, but not the -t option which is now expected by linux-2.6 (see bug#518315). mkinitrd provided a limited set of commands needed by kernels to automate generating ramdisks. This interface is what both initramfs-tools and yaird implemented and still used by kernel-package. I believe that option caused problems in the past for initramfs-tools to have that option enabled by default, leading to the change in 0.53 (or really 0.53c). Why do recent linux-2.6 need to introduce the use of the -t option? - Jonas - -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist og Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkm1IU0ACgkQn7DbMsAkQLgfBQCfYindlEK1kt+GjGkhm8qHyIym JKsAnAtw6QQsRYTBdRTQXi7f88h7ZWnD =vTXn -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
