mkinitcpio 37-1 adds rclone to the initramfs
Description:
Since version 37.0, mkinitcpio adds the rclone binaries (/usr/bin/mount.rclone and /usr/bin/rclone) to the initramfs if the rclone package is installed on the system, and this is huge (currently 79MB). It dramatically increases the size of the initramfs and most people wont need rclone there.
Additional info:
- Issue introduced in mkinitcpio 37-1, there was no such issue with mkinitcpio 36-1
- This is probably caused by archlinux/mkinitcpio/mkinitcpio!275 (diffs)
- The problem happens with the default configuration
Steps to reproduce:
- Install rclone and mkinitcpio 37-1 (or later)
- Run mkinitcpio to produce an initramfs
- Manually extract the initramfs and you should find the rclone binaries
