This is a major update, fixing most of the important bugs in the Debian
bug tracker.
The major changes are:
- Split initramfs-tools binary packages into core and automation hooks,
to allow for coinstallation of the core with other initramfs builders
- Fail at build-time if busybox is needed but not found
- The old default BUSYBOX=y in initramfs.conf is changed to
BUSYBOX=auto which preserves the old behaviour
- Rewrite build-time block device sysfs lookup to be generic
- Include modules for all components of a multi-disk device
- Use blkid to resolve LABEL=, UUID=, PARTLABEL= and PARTUUID= block
device IDs at boot time, and do this much later
- Change file copying to distinguish executables from other file types
and to preserve symlinks
- Run panic scripts just before dropping to a shell
- Always mounts /usr rather than checking whether init is systemd
- This requires an update to initscripts which I uploaded earlier
today
Ben.
