Package: initramfs-tools Version: 0.98 Severity: wishlist Option COMPRESS shouldn't specify predefined compression method, but should set program to use. This allows to use arguments (--best or --fast for example), and other versions and implementation of compressors. If initramfs-tools wants to know type of compression, one more option (COMPRESS_TYPE for example) should be added.
If initramfs-tools uses libraries (and doesn't call external program for compression) may be all this is superfluous, but in this case should be possible to specify compression level. -- Package-specific info: -- initramfs sizes -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6.2M Aug 9 15:30 /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-5-686 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6.2M Aug 9 15:32 /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-5-amd64 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6.5M Jul 11 20:08 /boot/initrd.img-2.6.34-1-686 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6.4M Aug 9 15:34 /boot/initrd.img-2.6.34-1-amd64 -- /proc/cmdline BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.34-1-amd64 root=UUID=a2932eb6-f687-4334-9a86-f466c65232f8 ro acpi_enforce_resources=lax -- /proc/filesystems ext4 fuseblk ext2 ext3 reiserfs xfs jfs msdos vfat ntfs minix hfs hfsplus qnx4 ufs btrfs -- lsmod Module Size Used by pl2303 13744 0 usbserial 26927 1 pl2303 btrfs 381227 0 zlib_deflate 17762 1 btrfs crc32c 2568 1 libcrc32c 1050 1 btrfs ufs 58627 0 qnx4 6666 0 hfsplus 65214 0 hfs 37431 0 minix 21189 0 ntfs 163615 0 vfat 7892 0 msdos 5922 0 fat 40064 2 vfat,msdos jfs 139859 0 xfs 736330 0 exportfs 3146 1 xfs reiserfs 194955 0 ext3 106534 0 jbd 37413 1 ext3 ext2 53478 0 usbhid 33619 0 iptable_nat 3667 1 nf_nat 13588 1 iptable_nat nf_conntrack_ipv4 9697 3 iptable_nat,nf_nat nf_conntrack 47348 3 iptable_nat,nf_nat,nf_conntrack_ipv4 nf_defrag_ipv4 1211 1 nf_conntrack_ipv4 ip_tables 13874 1 iptable_nat x_tables 13185 2 iptable_nat,ip_tables aes_x86_64 7348 3 aes_generic 25722 1 aes_x86_64 tun 12120 2 radeon 613330 2 ttm 39677 1 radeon drm_kms_helper 19993 1 radeon drm 144452 5 radeon,ttm,drm_kms_helper i2c_algo_bit 4265 1 radeon hidp 11336 1 hid 63661 2 usbhid,hidp sco 7492 2 bridge 53396 0 stp 1448 1 bridge bnep 9634 2 rfcomm 29951 8 l2cap 25527 21 hidp,bnep,rfcomm vboxnetadp 4193 0 vboxnetflt 12287 0 vboxdrv 1723566 2 vboxnetadp,vboxnetflt kvm_amd 32438 0 kvm 223894 1 kvm_amd fuse 50206 1 powernow_k8 11018 1 it87 22007 0 hwmon_vid 1836 1 it87 loop 11686 0 dm_crypt 10704 0 dm_mod 54982 1 dm_crypt snd_hda_codec_atihdmi 2275 1 arc4 1282 2 snd_hda_codec_realtek 251256 1 ecb 1849 2 snd_hda_intel 19699 0 snd_hda_codec 64180 3 snd_hda_codec_atihdmi,snd_hda_codec_realtek,snd_hda_intel snd_hwdep 5244 1 snd_hda_codec snd_pcm 61303 2 snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec snd_seq 41567 0 snd_timer 15645 2 snd_pcm,snd_seq snd_seq_device 4501 1 snd_seq ath5k 115940 0 i2c_piix4 8384 0 snd 46594 8 snd_hda_codec_realtek,snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec,snd_hwdep,snd_pcm,snd_seq,snd_timer,snd_seq_device mac80211 149675 1 ath5k ath 8394 1 ath5k shpchp 25503 0 edac_core 29141 0 pcspkr 1707 0 pci_hotplug 19931 1 shpchp button 4706 0 i2c_core 15406 5 radeon,drm_kms_helper,drm,i2c_algo_bit,i2c_piix4 processor 28793 1 powernow_k8 edac_mce_amd 6513 0 soundcore 4742 1 snd btusb 9793 4 cfg80211 116306 3 ath5k,mac80211,ath led_class 2187 1 ath5k tpm_tis 7344 0 tpm 9533 1 tpm_tis snd_page_alloc 6273 2 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm k8temp 3147 0 tpm_bios 4497 1 tpm evdev 7432 9 bluetooth 42435 10 hidp,sco,bnep,rfcomm,l2cap,btusb rfkill 13420 3 cfg80211,bluetooth ext4 274966 1 mbcache 5058 3 ext3,ext2,ext4 jbd2 62596 1 ext4 crc16 1327 2 l2cap,ext4 sd_mod 30557 2 crc_t10dif 1284 1 sd_mod ata_generic 2911 0 usb_storage 39257 1 ahci 34272 0 ohci_hcd 19268 0 fan 3274 0 pata_atiixp 3601 0 libata 134273 3 ata_generic,ahci,pata_atiixp r8169 29739 0 mii 3218 1 r8169 thermal 11945 0 thermal_sys 12006 3 processor,fan,thermal ehci_hcd 31463 0 scsi_mod 123845 3 sd_mod,usb_storage,libata usbcore 127124 8 pl2303,usbserial,usbhid,btusb,usb_storage,ohci_hcd,ehci_hcd nls_base 6353 7 hfsplus,hfs,ntfs,vfat,fat,jfs,usbcore -- /etc/kernel-img.conf #
