Hello everyone,
I'm trying to find a way to make i18n distro independent or at least
more flexible.
Module 10redhat-i18n depends on two programs from RH initscripts
package: console_init and console_check. Those tools are called by udev
and if we deliver just keymaps and few things like loadkey we're fine.
But… console_* are RH specific stuff (included in initscript package).
I see two easy approaches:
* Putting its sources into Dracut tree beside switch_root.c.
They don't depend on any library, so it should be easy.
* Rewrite as a shell script (but it's redundant work if the first
way is OK).
Moreover console_check isn't installed by Dracut at all, but it's in
default “10-console.rules” rule. This tool just setup speed for serial
console which we do by kernel params, so I guess we can skip it. In
that case modified 10-console.rules should be delivered inside i18n
module.
What do you think about it?
Cheers,
Amadeusz Żołnowski
I would be happy, if we had a shell replacement, or a small rewrite without the
libglib (huge lib only referenced by console_init).
