Subject: [gentoo-dev] [PATCH] 2024-01-30-installkernel-use-rename: add news item
Date: Tue, 30 Jan 2024 13:11:35 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <378e2c49-81d1-4bb4-9d27-9e5aed2bfacf@gentoo.org> (raw)
After user feedback we have decided to rename the systemd flag to
systemd-kernel-install so it is not enabled automatically on systemd
profiles.
Best regards,
Andrew
Title: installkernel systemd USE flag renamed to systemd-kernel-install
Author: Andrew Ammerlaan <andrewammerlaan@gentoo.org>
Posted: 2024-01-30
Revision: 1
News-Item-Format: 2.0
Display-If-Installed: sys-kernel/installkernel
/sbin/installkernel is a script called by the kernels 'make install' as well
as by the distribution kernels post install phase. sys-kernel/installkernel
provides two paths for installing the kernel:
- the traditional installkernel, or
- systemd's kernel-install
In installkernel versions lower then 20, systemd's kernel-install was
automatically used on systemd profiles via the automatic enabling of the
"systemd" USE flag. In version 20 and up, this USE flag was renamed to
"systemd-kernel-install", and it is therefore no longer enabled
automatically,
regardless of the selected profile.
User Action Required (systemd-boot users)
====================
Systemd-boot requires using systemd's kernel-install.
Users of systemd-boot should therefore:
- ensure that the "systemd-kernel-install" USE flag is enabled
when upgrading to >=sys-kernel/installkernel-20.
User Action Required (users of other bootloaders and custom scripts)
====================
Users who wish to (continue to) use systemd's kernel-install instead of the
traditional installkernel should:
- enable the "systemd-kernel-install" USE flag
