Hello Adolf, Yes, I would be happy for you to give this a try.
Since Harald Hoyer has left RedHat, it seems that dracut has effectively been abandoned and dracut-ng is the successor with pretty much the same people contributing to it. I did not find any breaking changes in the change log (although it seems quite extensive), so we might have a very good chance to indeed ship it as a drop-in. Let us know what you find out during testing it :) Best, -Michael > On 2 Sep 2025, at 13:13, Adolf Belka <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi All, > > I was looking at packages that needed updating.
