This has coused much consternation among folks + who care about any of those 3 things. + + This PR replaces that non-Free code with Free code, removing + friction for Ruby users on GNU/Linux distros that care about those + 3 things. +- urls: [https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/mkinitcpio/mkinitcpio/-/merge_requests/328] + tags: [ARM] + sponsored-by: Umorpha Systems + desc: | + To do its work, mkinitcpio needs to know the version number of the + Linux kernel that it is generating an image for; the normal way + that it knows this is to sniff the version number from the kernel + file. However, it fails to sniff the version number from ARM + zImage kernels, which means that Arch Linux ARM and Parabola for + ARM need to resort to hacks to get mkinitcpio to work right. + + This PR removes that friction by teaching mkinitcpio to understand + ARM zImage files. +- urls: [https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/mkinitcpio/mkinitcpio/-/merge_requests/277] + sponsored-by: Umorpha Systems + desc: | + One of the things going on in the secure-boot world is moving + toward "Unified Kernel Images" (UKI), which are when the kernel + and the init-ramdisk are bundled together into a single file to + reduce the risk of a compromised init-ramdisk being able to + compromise a secured kernel.
