Subject: [ANNOUNCE] yaird 0.0.7, a mkinitrd based on hotplug concepts
Date: Sun, 08 May 2005 20:50:47 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20050508225047.B5283@banaan.localdomain> (raw)
Version 0.0.7 of yaird is now available at:
http://www.xs4all.nl/~ekonijn/yaird/yaird-0.0.7.tar.gz
Yaird is a proof of concept perl rewrite of mkinitrd. It aims to
reliably identify the necessary modules by using the same algorithms
as hotplug, and comes with a template system to to tune the tool for
different distributions and experiment with different image layouts.
It requires a 2.6 kernel with hotplug. There is a paper discussing it at:
http://www.xs4all.nl/~ekonijn/yaird/yaird.html
Summary of user visible changes:
* Support cryptsetup-luks (Based on a patch by Dick Middleton)
* Bugfixes
- cryptsetup, handle multiple hard links to same block special dev
- cryptsetup, recognise keyword 'none' in /etc/crypttab
- cryptsetup, keyfile check now for both luks and plain
- cryptsetup, missing module for aes-cbc-essiv:sha256
- Fedora template: dash was used instead of ash
On top of the todo list are now:
* support NFS devices
* support loopback devices
Regards,
Erik
