Subject: [PATCH] initramfs-framework: make rootfs module optional
Date: Tue, 12 Jul 2016 15:24:26 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1468329867-32055-1-git-send-email-patrick.ohly@intel.com> (raw)

It still gets installed by default via RRECOMMENDS without having to update
users of the framework (because without it, the framework is incomplete),
but that recommendation can be overridden on a per-image basis.
