mkinitramfs: do not execute compress command under quotes

2010-07-09T10:57:56+00:00

If we quote the $compress command then any options are considered as part of the command, resulting in something like: lzop -9: not found while updating a initramfs Closes: #588517 Signed-off-by: Michael Prokop

2010-07-08T13:00:05+00:00

currently already to many failure pathes, no point in rushing more into the next release for squeeze. plan is to reinstate postqueeze. Reviewed-by: Michael Prokop Signed-off-by: maximilian attems

mkinitramfs: Provide error code of failed mkinitramfs creation

2010-07-08T12:55:21+00:00

We better print them out before exiting, this should allow quicker diagnose of what is going on. Be sure to print out all error codes as a failure of compress is highly likely to generate an SIGPIPE aka error code 141. Silent error exits are troublesome for debugging error cause.

2010-07-05T16:02:50+00:00

the fallback for unset ${compress} never got used, due to the missing quotes. Do also set the GZIP CONFIG option when setting fallback of gzip. Closes: 587608 Thanks: Valentin QUEQUET Signed-off-by: maximilian attems

initramfs-tools: work around 'find -printf %Y' bug

2010-06-16T13:55:44+00:00

The change to filter out looping or broken symlinks from the initramfs, written by me for Ubuntu and applied to Debian for #575157, tickles a bug in find (which I think also had an associated Debian bug, but I've been unable to find it): https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?29460 This was fixed in 4.5.8, which is currently only in experimental. In any case findutils is very deep in the dependency chain for upgrades and I believe it would be a good idea to avoid requiring a new version of it (I've had problems quite recently with strict dependencies on findutils causing unresolvable dependency loops). The following patch works around this bug in a reasonably straightforward way. [ debian findutils bug was #576772 ] Signed-off-by: maximilian attems

code cleanup: consequently use "W:" for warnings.

The only exception is log_warning_msg() inside scripts/functions which is/can be used by external scripts. Signed-off-by: Michael Prokop
