Hello everyone, I'd like to present a draft of install script of new generic i18n module. ~ Abstract ~ Different distros have variables holding keyboard settings, fonts and so in different files and even under different names. Sometimes it's “SYSFONT” in /etc/sysconfig/i18n, sometimes it's “consolefont” in /etc/conf.d/consolefont. I came up with idea to hold mappings in configuration file (dracut.conf or dracut.conf.d/«distro».conf). The script gathers variables and prepares two “unified” files inside Dracut overlay. The rest of the script is quite the same as redhat-i18n but some tweaks. Dracut uses console_init written in C included in initscripts RPM, but I'm gonna rewrite it in bash and then i18n module will be fully generic. Please post here any doubts, questions, suggestions, insults… ;-)

Hmm, what about varnames with a "-" ? You might want to use "@". -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe initramfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
