I've rewritten the tool in Python. If you're fine with the old script or you don't want to pull in the new dependencies, you can stick with the legacy version which won't receive any updates.

I am guessing that you have a malformed configuration file. I should add some checks to catch this.

I will try to reproduce and fix this. Meanwhile, could you report bugs in the program on GitHub rather than here, to make it easy for me to track? Thanks.

2.0.2-1 build fine.

Problem after install:

rebuild-initramfs linux linux-lts
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/rebuild-initramfs", line 8, in <module>
    sys.exit(main())

Sorry, added setuptools and wheel as makedeps. Now it should build fine.

@xuanruiqi,

  • Please add python-setuptools as makedepends. Thanks in Advance!

Sorry, apparently I forgot to add python-build and python-installer to makedepends. Adding now.

Late getting back; aren't the commands in the script actually considered command-line options (which override *.conf files)?

xuanruiqi commented on 2024-01-19 18:18 (UTC)

Hi! I certainly can't replicate 1, because I'm just directly calling the dracut binary from a shell script and dracut should load these config files automatically, unless overridden by command-line options. It must be a configuration problem: most likely your config files don't have .conf extension.

Regarding 2: it is not possible right now. I've always planned to rewrite this in Python, as the growing list of functionalities make a shell script difficult to manage.
