• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description John Mylchreest (RETIRED) 2003-04-10 15:14:31 UTC]

installing bootsplash doesnt install valid initrd images.
this will fix that, and also install to the correct location

Thanks for picking that up.

I'll update the tar ball so that the config files are correct, rather than munging stuff in the ebuild.

[Comment 3 John Mylchreest (RETIRED) 2003-04-10 19:44:34 UTC]

thats how i would have prefered to do it also.
:)

please still include the splash in postinst.
otherwise it will still fail as the files dont exist in the cfg's yet.

just to mention - 0.6 has the same problem.

[Comment 5 Troy Dack 2003-04-21 10:45:31 UTC]

It shouldn't have the same problem. 
 
The config files have been fixed and the initrd images are now created in post_install(), 
qpkg output below.  I get initrd files created in the right place, I'll patch a kernel and 
test them  out 
 
One other outstanding bug is that the einfo message has the wrong path to the ebuild 
in /var/db/pkg 
 
carbon root # qpkg -l bootsplash
