You should probably ask Harald explicitly to be sure, but the current state of affairs is: - kernel.spec now requires systemd > <some version that has kernel-install in it> - kernel.spec calls kernel-install instead of new-kernel-pkg (which is provided by grubby) - kernel-install in Fedora 19 and 20 is patched to call new-kernel-pkg under the covers for the bootloader config update portions - kernel-install calls dracut to create the initramfs (I think). - eventually grub2 will deal with the BootLoaderSpec stuff directly and kernel-install won't call new-kernel-pkg any longer. I'm not exactly sure what the timeframe for that last item is, but it's not in the immediate future. josh -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
