RFC: Add virtual initramfs-generator package
Presently, many Alpine package depend directly on mkinitfs (e.g. grub,
syslinux, or linux-lts itself). However, these package do not
specifically need mkinitfs but simply a tool to generate an initramfs
image. By providing a virtual initramfs-generator package we can
abstract from the specifics of a initramfs generation tool and allow
usage of Alpine with initramfs images not generated by mkinitfs.
The initramfs generation tool simply needs to provide /boot/initramfs-$flavour
.
I primarily interested in this to improve support for alternative initramfs. Most importantly, testing/booster
.
