This release fixes a number of bugs:
- copy_file handles avoids duplicating files whose source filename
includes a directory symlink.
- The autopkgtest test cases now work on ppc64el.
- mkinitramfs exits with an error if dracut-install fails.
It adds several features:
- Support for MS Surface Pro 4 keyboard when MODULES=most.
- The onboard_usb_hub or onboard_usb_dev driver is included when
MODULES=most.
- Drivers for supplier devices are also included when MODULES=dep.
- mkinitramfs gained a -m option to override the MODULES setting.
and optimisations:
- Iteration over module directories is mostly deferred to
dracut-install.
- The main cpio archive is piped to the compressor rather
than written to a temporary file first,
Known breaking change:
- The bug fix in copy_file exposed other longstanding bugs in this
function, that affect in particular the reiserfsprogs hook.
This will be fixed by another release shortly.
The shortlog is below.
Ben.
