initramfs-init: adding support for multiple repos when using alpine_repo=

Open initramfs-init: adding support for multiple repos when using alpine_repo=
syzdek/mkinitfs:multiple-uri-in-alpine_repo into master
1 unresolved thread
Open David Syzdek requested to merge syzdek/mkinitfs:multiple-uri-in-alpine_repo into master
1 unresolved thread

Adding support for comma separated list of URL and directories in the alpine_repo= cmdline option. Adding this support allows packages to be installed from multiple repositories on boot such as main, community, and vendor specific repositories. In addition to directories and URL, this patch allows auto detected repositories to be combined with manually specified repositories.

Example usage is:

alpine_repo=auto,http://foo.org/alpine/edge/main,http://foo.org/alpine/edge/community

    A few more things needs to be fixed:

    • manpage needs to be updated
    • currenly the nlplug-findfs will add -n (to make nlplug-findfs reutrn success even if no boot repository file was added) if alpine_repo is an url. we need adapt this so we pass -n to nlplug-findfs if the list is only urls.

    We can probably clean up the do_networking part a bit while at it.

    I will have to postpone this.

    Don't get me wrong, I like the idea of alpine_repo=auto,http://foo.org/alpine/edge/main,http://foo.org/alpine/edge/community but this needs more work.
