Hello,
I've actually made a small patch to handle file exclusions when
building root file system with mksquashfs. It's in live-helper package,
not live-initramfs as said before, in script live_binary_rootfs.
It uses a new variable, MKSQUASHFS_EXCLUDES, to handle file names to
be excluded from squashfs image, to prevent '-e <files>' option to mess
with other mksquashfs options.
Can you include it in a next release of live-helper ?
Thanks,
Fred Boiteux.
