What we agreed on was Vorlon's psudocode[1], except the use of debconf. Your description above ignores legacy ramdisk tools when part of a list[2]. We agreed on including legacy tools even when not explicitly set in /etc/kernel-kpg.conf. With this one exception, I agree with you, and thank you for the fine announcement. - Jonas [1] http://minbar.dodds.net/~vorlon/k-p-pseudocode [2] Even though all three major ramdisk tools (initrd-tools, initramfs-tools and yaird) now supports the new query mode, debian contains other ramdisk tools - and users may rely on other tools as well. Some may do so by redirecting to another tool using /etc/kernel-kpg.cfg which is irrelevant for this nitpicking, but others may use dpkg-divert with an mkinitrd wrapper. - -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist og Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ - Enden er nær: http://www.shibumi.org/eoti.htm -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFDW871n7DbMsAkQLgRAoCPAJ9fc/h9Pu3PaEDtGzxCr7BoYu1NDwCfRkIC hmK3oaYL3mTg1AiwxOuluAs= =bn8/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
