Package: initramfs-tools Version: 0.93.4 Severity: wishlist
When building an initramfs for e.g. network booting I don't want to modify the main /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf file on the build system before executing update-initramfs but instead would like to be able to use a separate config file and optionally different /etc/initramfs-tools, /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/functions, /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hook-functions, /usr/share/initramfs-tools/conf.d/*,... directories as well. Related to this issue it's also tricky to get rid of some persistent configuration files e.g. from /etc like udev configs (see #534170, "do not install persistent files in initrd on request / if necessary"). And also related to this report is #450623, "please support copying modules from other places than /". It would be great if initramfs-tools would provide more flexibility in building an initramfs on a system being different from the one where the kernel/initramfs should be used then. regards, -mika- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kernel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
