  • initramfs-tools (0.120ubuntu1) wily; urgency=medium
    
      * Merge from debian, remaining changes (up to 0.103ubuntu15):
        - Drop hooks/keymap and associated code; console-setup takes care of this
          in Ubuntu.
        - Set takeover=1 in update-initramfs.
        - Support loading compcache from the initramfs.
        - Add a new 'fixrtc' script that tries to set the system clock forward
          based on the last mount time of the root disk; without this kludge,
          systems without a working RTC will end up in a perpetual reboot loop.
        - Set hostname at boot, for the benefit of mdadm autoassembly.
        - Don't display "Loading, please wait..." message when 'quiet' is in
          /proc/cmdline.
        - Ignore errors from iscan and iscan-data hooks.
        - Allow specifying multiple break points using a comma delimiter.
        - Allow scripts and hooks to specify OPTION=VAR, and unless VAR is set to
          something other than "n", the script will not be included.
        - Restore the framebuffer hook and script, copying KMS and other framebuffer
          drivers into the initramfs, but make them optional; you need to set
          FRAMEBUFFER=y for these to be included.
        - Don't load keymaps unless we're loading a framebuffer; but set the keymap
          before giving a root shell.
        - Add hwaddr= alias for BOOTIF= for compatibility.
        - Add 2>&1 to the run-init line.
        - When receiving "recovery" on cmdline, start upstart with
          --startup-event=recovery (LP: #575469)
        - Make /etc/mtab a symlink to /proc/mounts on startup, since e.g. current
          ntfs-3g doesn't work otherwise.
        - Mount /dev with the default tmpfs size rather than sourcing udev.conf.
        - Automatically blacklist vga16fb when vga= or video= specified on kernel
          command-line.
        - Add Hyper-V paravirtualised device drivers to the initramfs to allow
          booting of stock images in a Hyper-V guest.  (LP: #917135)
        - Allow for alternative PREREQS to be specified using | as the separator.
        - Add mountroot failure support, to allow meaningful messages when no root
          device can be found.
        - Retain netboot= compatibility option.
        - Add panic hook support.
        - Breaks: mountall (<< 2.0~)
        - Retain cryptopts= compatibility option.
        - Use busybox-initramfs for Depends.
        - Add new initramfs-tools-bin package containing a binary that uses libudev
          to wait for udev to create the udev device, or wait for udev to finish
          processing if we catch it in the act, and returns the filesystem type
          as already probed by udev. Incorporate rzscontrol from compcache so that
          we can control current ramzswap devices.
        - Replace all instances of vol_id with blkid, and depend on util-linux.
        - Add vfat modules to the initramfs.
        - Maintain compatibility with pre- /run configurations
        - Remove klibc utilities if busybox is in use.
        - Use gzip from busybox instead of klibc.  Depend on busybox-initramfs
          (>= 1:1.13.3-1ubuntu5) to ensure that we have it.
        - Loop for 5 seconds waiting for $resume to show up, adjustable with the
          resumedelay= command-line arg.
        - Call 'plymouth message' before resuming, to notify the user of the reason
          for the delay if the plymouth theme supports it.
        - Fix major/minor handling.
        - Allow the mounting of a root filesystem as a loop device on top of a
          host filesystem, used for Wubi installs. Panic if either the root device
          doesn't exist, or blkid cannot identify it.  Allows for mountroot failure
          hooks for md devices to be displayed.
        - Sync the mount options for /run from /lib/init/fstab.  LP: #1152744
        - When copying firmware, don't use copy_exec; running ldd on random firmware
          files is annoying and, if libc-x32 is installed, may cause crashes due
          to lack of kernel support.  LP: #1115875
        - update maintainers
        - When adding i8042 also add psmouse as some keyboards are behind the mouse.
          LP: #1314764
        - Create /bin/egrep -> busybox symlink.  LP: #1315755
        - Increase rootdelay to 180s on powerpc/ppc64/ppc64el (LP: #1326199)
        - add readlink symlink for busybox (LP: #1351295)
        - fixrtc: wait for udev to settle to expose device symlinks
        - fixrtc: handle hwclock -s failures safely
        - fixrtc: support busybox, handle last mount time on system partition,
          expose fs create time (LP: #1420473)
        - fixrtc: avoid using xargs, wait-for-root before examining
        - busybox: add chroot "binary" for busybox (LP: #1421117)
        - fixrtc: suppress /dev/ram as a root when using systempart (LP: #1443329)
        - hook-functions: Add nx-* and 842-* modules in order to enable PowerPC NX
          Crypto Coprocessor. (LP: #1454687)

    initramfs-tools (0.117) unstable; urgency=medium
    
      [ Roger Leigh ]
      * Generalise logic used for mounting the rootfs:
        - The existing logic was only intended for mounting the root
          filesystem; this logic has been refactored to support the
          mounting of multiple filesystems
        - Add a read_fstab_entry function to parse /etc/fstab on the
          mounted rootfs
        - Add resolve_device function which generalises the existing
          support for resolving LABEL= and UUID= strings to the
          corresponding device node
        - Add general mount_top, mount_premount and mount_bottom functions,
          with boot-script-specific variants for the local and nfs scripts;
          other boot scripts should override them if needed; the local and
          nfs scripts show how to use these to redirect to a specific
          implementation
        - Add general mountfs function to mount a filesystem from the
          /etc/fstab on the mounted rootfs.  This works for both local and
          nfs mounts; other boot scripts may override it to provide more
          specialised functionality
        - The local and nfs bottom scripts are run on demand if used; this
          does not interfere with alternative boot scripts being used,
          which will run first
        - Canonicalise device names to match util-linux mount behaviour;
          this ensures that "mount -a" in mountall does not try to mount
          /usr a second time (which it will attempt if the mounted device
          does not match the canonical device name)
      * Mount /usr if present in the /etc/fstab on the mounted rootfs
        (Closes: #652459)
      * Check filesystems prior to mounting (Closes: #708000):
        - Add empty /etc/fstab and symlink /etc/mtab to /proc/mounts;
          not essential, but quell a number of fsck warnings
        - Copy fsck and needed fsck helpers, plus logsave
        - Add checkfs function, based on the initscripts checkroot
          script
        - local mount functions will call checkfs prior to mounting
          the filesystem
