Version 0.0.11 of yaird is now available at:
http://www.xs4all.nl/~ekonijn/yaird/yaird-0.0.11.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 configuration file that determines what the generated
image should do. It replaces command line options for root
file system selection and for NFS support.
* The file /etc/hotplug/blacklist does not have to exist:
this can be a machine without hotplug, or with a future
hotplug version, where blacklisting is delegated to module-init-tools.
Based on patch by Marian Andre <[email protected]>
* Bugfix: expect characters A-Z, in kernel config entries.
* Handle kernels that do not have ide-generic.
Changes in version 0.0.10 and 0.0.9 were too small to
merit an announcement:
* Support legacy keyboard compiled as module.
* Place the docs under GPL instead of GFDL for the benefit of Debian.

Erik
