Description Isakov Alexandr 2013-02-06 05:53:05 UTC

I have a complex configuration of boot process so I need to manually do some things when installing new or rebuilding kernel. I wrote script and add it as CALLBACK to genkernel. The trouble is that genkernel didn't tell my script which kernel it's currently build. As a temporary workaround I use `readlink /usr/src/linux`. I think it would be better if genkernel would give some additional information to the callback with the environment variables: kernel version, installed kernel path, initramfs path.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
echo $KV
echo $KERNEL_PATH
echo $INITRAMFS_PATH
Actual Results:  





Expected Results:  
3.7.6-geek
/boot/kernel-genkernel-x86_64-3.7.6-geek
/boot/initramfs-genkernel-x86_64-3.7.6-geek
