scripts: make plymouth-update-initrd somewhat more useful

System Internals / Plymouth - Ray Strode [redhat.com] - 15 October 2013 08:52 UTC

plymouth-update-initrd is a script that should probably be eventually dropped. It was originally created to unpack and initrd and graft plymouth in. Later, it just became a thin wrapper around mkinitrd.

These days, very few (any?) distros use mkinitrd. Change it to call dracut instead.

Relevant irc log:

this is SO WRONG: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/plymouth/tree/scripts/plymouth-update-initrd it won't work on any distro would you mind updating that please? replace the mkinitrd line in /usr/libexec/plymouth/plymouth-update-initrd to dracut -f /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r) <-- newfo has quit (Client Quit)
