14:59 < bwh> tbm: Are you going to put those hooks back in flash-kernel some time soon? 15:02 < tbm> bwh: I asked joeyh and Sledge for help but nobody suggested a solution. If someone sends a patch, I'd be happy to upload. 15:06 < bwh> tbm: The solution to what? 15:12 < tbm> bwh: see #550584 15:12 < tbm> bwh: the problem with just a hook script (afaiu) is that it would run flash-kernel several times when you have multiple kernels installed 15:12 < tbm> so it probably needs a trigger 15:12 < tbm> but I don't have time to learn about this stuff so I'm waiting for someone to send a patch. 15:13 < bwh> Ah yes, and so you rely on initramfs-tools using triggers 15:13 < bwh> although, of course, it won't do that any more 15:13 < bwh> not for multiple kernel updates, anyway 15:16 < tbm> bwh: so is there any solution that would run flash-kernel only once? 15:17 < bwh> Yeah, check whether the kernel being installed/updated is the one the user wants 15:19 < bwh> But you can use your own trigger (the policy only forbids the initramfs creator from doing this, so boot loader hooks work properly) 15:20 < bwh> Sorry: to be clear, the kernel hook script for the initramfs creator must do its work synchronously 15:20 < bwh> The kernel hook script for the boot loader can use a trigger to do the work asynchronously (though it is not advisable for e.g. lilo)
