Package: initramfs-tools Version: 0.97.2 Severity: wishlist
Hi. It's already extremely nice that initramfs-tools allows adding hook/boot scripts to /etc/initramfs-tools/hooks/ and /etc/initramfs-tools/scripts/ in addition to /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/ and /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/. IMO it would be even nicer, if those in /etc override those in /usr. E.g. you have in the package lvm2 the following scripts: /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/lvm2 /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-top/lvm2 Now the way they work may not fit my custom setup so I add: /etc/initramfs-tools/hooks/lvm2 /etc/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-top/lvm2 If the later exists than the corresponding hook-script (of the same name) in /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/ should not run and the corresponding boot script in /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/ should not be copied to the initramfs image. It would however be nice, if a warning (for each of them) is printed when generating the initramfs. Otherwise users might accidentally override important scripts :) Cheers, Chris. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kernel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
