2010-04-07mkinitramfs.8: Add information about $TMPDIR environment variableAxel Beckert
This documents problem with noexec mount options and fixes: BTW: The information about mkinitramfs looking at $TMPDIR is missing in the mkinitramfs(8) man page. Looked there (mostly for commandline options) before reporting that bug. But even searching for "TMP" in there now didn't find any hint on that.

2010-04-04mkinitramfs: -c compression support / commandline overrideBert Schulze
fixed the commandline argument to select the compressor. also your test with "command" needed to be negated otherwise the fallback to gzip would take place everytime. -- frohe ostern Bert Schulze [ nuked trailing whitespace, and add comment for usage() ] Signed-off-by: maximilian attems <maks@debian.org>

2010-04-04initramfs-tools: support different compression tools in mkinitramfsbert schulze
this version uses /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf to determine the compression method, checks kernel and userspace support with fallback to gzip. Since LZO didnt work for me at all with 2.6.33 I left that out for now. (closes: #533903) [ minor changes in mkinitramfs code ] Signed-off-by: maximilian attems <maks@debian.org>
