Remove initramfs RDEP
Fair enough. I would go even further and just remove the RDEP from the initramfs generation tool. Plymouth can work without them with a custom made initramfs or it can work even without it. No point forcing this DEP.
Maxim please include the attached ebuild in the tree if no major objection arise. I'm not sure about a revision bump or not. The installed stuff doesn't change at all, but it might annoy people without dracut in the portage world file.
Thank you.
Commited the change, thanks. I've added conditional to show warning only of neither dracut nor genkernel are installed. Good idea. Thank you :) |
sys-boot/plymouth forces the installation of dracut: >=sys-kernel/dracut-008-r1[dracut_modules_plymouth] but now also genkernel-next can use plymouth so maybe we can drop dracut dependency from plymouth or modify it in order to have both (dracut and genkernel-next) satisfying the dep. I'm not sure if genkernel or dracut are a really needed dep. Reproducible: Always
