Description California Sullivan 2017-01-28 01:00:48 UTC 
initramfs-framework is more modular and expandable than the init scripts we install by default. Once these are expanded a bit they should become the preferred solution.
Comment 1 California Sullivan 2017-01-28 01:49:29 UTC 
Minor clarification - this is for the initrd and live booting/installation. sysvinit or systemd handles the normal case as usual.
Comment 2 Ng, Wei Tee 2017-07-28 01:46:35 UTC 
Fixed and accepted in OE-core

Comment 3 Ng, Wei Tee 2017-08-10 01:20:28 UTC 
The patch get reverted due to failure in oe-selftest. Cal figured out the fix and already sent the patch to mailing list.
Comment 4 Saul Wold 2017-08-28 23:30:45 UTC 
Initramfs framework has been enabled in meta-intel and is getting tested with the meta-intel bsp, should be able to generally enable this for oe-core and meta-yocto-bsps
Comment 6 Robin Jordan 2018-02-26 20:27:19 UTC 
Please provide an update on the status of this and let me know if it will be ready for YP 2.5 M3.
Comment 7 California Sullivan 2018-02-26 20:30:16 UTC 
Patch has been sent to the list for a while but its fallen through the cracks. I'll prod it along some more...
