implement kernel hook - Githubissues

stapelberg commented 5 years ago

[x] /out/vmlinuz needs to be copied to /boot/vmlinuz-<pkg-version>
[x] build initramfs in /boot/initramfs-<pkg-version>.img
- PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/ro/systemd-amd64-239-7/out/share/pkgconfig/ dracut --debug --force /boot/initramfs-5.1.9.img 5.1.9
- when exactly should it be built? dracut copies a bunch of packages which may be good to update first in their entirety? i.e. defer the hook (add atexit hook list to cmd/distri/distri.go) instead of running it immediately?
[x] run grub-mkconfig via /etc/update-grub (created by distri pack)
[ ] run grub-install (maybe from /etc/update-grub)?
[ ] remove the files when gc removes the package

Only the gc item is left, demoting from release-blocker to enhancement.

stapelberg commented 5 years ago

We need to run /etc/update-grub after the initrd was generated.

stapelberg commented 5 years ago

This can be fixed after the release because updates first install distri1 updates. Removing release-blocker label.

From experience with Debian, you want initrd build/cleanup to happen atexit, otherwise you get to the paradoxical and slow situation where it gets rebuilt n times if you update kernel, firmware, and VirtualBox at the same time

stapelberg commented 5 years ago

Yep, we already do this :)

Sorry, I misread the subitem in the original post as not done yet =) Godspeed!
