Major Features are broken for years and are not beeing adressed or fixed. Initramfs with wrong name and other stuff. These are just basics principles Command line parameters are beeing ignored. If you do that - than write in the first 5 lines of the generated output and the first 5 lines of the manpage and help section, that you do not follow basic principles. Basic Principles should be followed also the FHS Standard - which is beeing ignored also since 5 years at least here. -- MAybe someone write an useful text for the genkernel garbage! At the end of filling a bug at bugs.gentoo.org. Go to the top right In the add Line add please the following email adress genkernel@gentoo.org Than click on the right top corner Save -- I do not think I am the first ot see these errors. -- save all files your program generates. Tell the user maybe to delete theese lint files or remove it yourself as the file output is the same /boot/something.img you could just overwrite the othter stuff or make a more useful command like Do you want the following files /boot/filea /boot/fileb /boot/filec or do you want to save those files as /boot/duplicate/filea ... ... ... With a yes or no dialogue. I do not htink that this is such complicated to code Remove me from the CC list I wrote a comment and I put on the cc List again Please fix that bug also for bugs.gentoo.org Expected Result Sienna_Cichlid /boot # cp System.map-6.6.23-gentoo-x86_64 /usr/src/ Sienna_Cichlid /boot # cp initramfs-6.6.23-gentoo-x86_64.img /usr/src/ Sienna_Cichlid /usr/src # cp initramfs-6.6.23-gentoo-x86_64.img initramfs-6.6.23-gentoo-x86_64.cpio.gz Sienna_Cichlid /usr/src # binwalk initramfs-6.6.23-gentoo-x86_64.cpio.gz DECIMAL HEXADECIMAL DESCRIPTION -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 0 0x0 gzip compressed data, maximum compression, has original file name: "initramfs-x86_64-6.6.23-gentoo-x86_64", from Unix, last modified: 2024-04-01 12:36:47 genkernel is effectively unmaintained and barely on life support for those that really want to keep using it, so ranting about it won't accomplish much. I would recommend switching to dracut, and distribution kernels[1] (e.g. sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel) [1] https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Distribution_Kernel (In reply to Roman Gruber from comment #2) > Remove me from the CC list > > I wrote a comment > > and I put on the cc List again > > Please fix that bug also for bugs.gentoo.org Please open a new bug if you believe that bugzilla is misbehaving with CC, but I suspect that is user error. Thanks! > The coder is an idiot
So I couldn't help but notice that in the very first line of this bug report you are running binwalk as root on files you claim to be unsafe.
I mean, disregarding that the version of genkernel you're using is pinned to xz 5.4.3 and so that whole rant about their safety is demonstrably false...
This reads more like a rant than a bug report. Feel free to try again with a more concise explanation. |
