Awesome package! Thanks.

Would it be possible to add Target = usr/lib/firmware/* as an install [Trigger]? So that my UKI gets rebuild on linux-firmware package updates? The script I was previously using had this in it's install.hook.

@Prototik THX!

I ment a note along the lines of that dracut-ukify will use flags from /etc/dracut.conf.d/* and that ukify_variants=() is just for flag overrides in different variants.

Since at least to me it was not clear if I had to manually copy the contents of /etc/dracut.conf.d/* into 

ukify_variants=(
  [default]="mycopyiedflags"
)

or not.

@aur_person23

Also a small note that dracut-ukify does not(?) take existing kernel parameters from /etc/kernel/cmdline?

It's kinda systemd' kernel-install specific, but I don't see a reason why we can not use it too, so dracut-ukify 9-1 now using it if nothing provided via dracut-ukify.conf. Moreover, it will search for /etc/kernel/cmdline, /usr/lib/kernel/cmdline and /proc/cmdline, and use first one found.

Would it be possible to add a short note/comment in dracut-ukify.conf to help other users?

What kind of note do you offer?

@Prototik Thank you for your help!

I could only get dracut-ukify working after manually copying my kernel parameters to ukify_global_args+=(--cmdline "root=/dev/sda1 quiet")

(I just assumed that would look at /etc/kernel/cmdline because the project I was previous using - kernel-install-for-dracut [AUR] - did)

@aur_person23 sure, all available config files of dracut used in the initrd generation process for any variants, see man 5 dracut.conf for search paths.

But if you need to pass some flags only for some variants, you need to used ukify_variants as you stated.

Quick question:

Does dracut-ukify automatically take existing flags from e.g.: /etc/dracut.conf.d/myflags.conf?

Or are you supposed to move those flags into dracut-ukify.conf like so:

ukify_variants=(
  [default]="--omit_dracutmodules+=" network nfs cifs " --add_drivers+=" i915 ""

?

@qupfer that's leftover of previously broken systemd-ukify package, which didn't depends on python and so all of it broken. Nowadays this dep can be removed, yeah.

qupfer commented on 2024-03-15 14:37 (UTC)

hi, nothing wrong but just out of curiosity (because I can't see it): Why depend 'this' on python?

Prototik commented on 2024-03-10 08:51 (UTC)

@blinxwang fixed in 8, ty
