Package: yaird
Version: 0.0.13-5
Justification: breaks the whole system
Severity: critical
Tags: patch
*** Please type your report below this line ***
Hi,
Thanks for yaird. I take it as a great program that required hard work
for tying everything up and knotting it against bare kernel /sys files.
It's about aiming at a moving target.
That's also the reason why I have to file this report as yaird breaks
regularly w/ kernel internals changing. But this is well-known, as previous
reports witness.
yaird failed to create an initramfs image on kernel 2.6.33.4. I believe
it used to work w/ kernel 2.6.27.4, 2.6.29, 2.6.30 as I use yaird initramfs
images with those kernels. For kernel 2.6.33.4 though I had to patch
some files.
I like yaird for the small images and I avoid any kernel-specific modules
as it's more portable across kernel versions.
After fixing yaird, the latest ramfs image and the just created ramfs image
differ like so:

So, it looks quite ok.
Though the patch for /usr/sbin/yaird doesn't quite fit into this report I
filed it inline. Maybe it's better suited for the man page.
It tried to fix the copy function using File::Copy::Recursive::rmove but that
fails due to inadequate special file handling. Didn't find a better solution,
so just giving an annotation for users wondering. BTW, it seems this fs
boundary copy problem is caused by a debian-specific modification of yaird
using secure temporary files/dirs. As my /tmp is a tmpfs, this is due to
fail when not using something like:
yaird -f directory -o /tmp/initramfs_2.6.33.4
Where the target is on the same fs.
