mkinitcptio - Arch Linux initramfs generation tools
CHANGES WITH v33:
Announcements:
* Development has moved to the Arch Linux GitLab instance. The new
URL is https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/mkinitcpio/mkinitcpio
Changes in mkinitcpio:
* Introduce DECOMPRESS_MODULES in mkinitcpio.conf. Allows the user to
toggle if modules should be recompressed during initramfs creation or
not. Defaults to "yes".
* Support UKI generation on AArch64.
* Introduce a new --remove switch which allows mkinitcpio to remove all
mkinitcpio generated files. Only works together
with the -p/-P switches currently.
* In the initramfs the file /etc/os-release, symlinked to
/etc/initrd-release, is now included. systemd enabled initramfs
environments might need this file.
* Supports finding kernel version in gzipped non-x86 kernels.
* Try to properly resolve symlinks when adding files into the initramfs.
Changes in hooks:
* install/fsck now includes the e2fsck binary and symlinks fsck.ext*
utilities to this binary.
* install/fsck will no longer attempt to include nonexistent fsck
helpers.
* install/kms will attempt to include modules that implement the privacy
screen feature. Currently the module names are hardcoded.
Changes in packaging:
* mkinitcpio-remove and mkinitcpio-install are now unified into a single
script installed to 'libalpm/scripts/mkinitcpio'.
