New dracut modules:

  • shell-interpreter: meta package for improved shell selection
  • fips-crypto-policies: make c-p follow FIPS mode automatically
  • squash-lib: code shared by 95squash-{squashfs,erofs}

Removed dracut modules:

  • ifcfg: no longer needed for networking
  • mksh: lack of interest to maintain

Notable new features:

  • add --add-confdir option to dracut
  • new dracut configuration profiles under dracut.conf.d/ (e.g. for uki)
  • systemd-udevd: make systemd-sysctl, systemd-modules-load optional

Notable bug fixes:

  • crypt: include systemd-cryptsetup module when needed
  • udev-rules: move installation of libkmod to udev-rules module
  • busybox: install busybox symlinks later in the generation process
  • nvmf: install (only) required nvmf modules
  • systemd: include systemd config files from /usr/lib/systemd
  • systemd: trigger systemd-vconsole-setup.service only on demand
  • multipath: include module with "find_multipaths strict"
  • nfs: include also entries from /usr/lib/{passwd,group}
  • network: handle '-m network'
  • systemd-networkd: remove basename dependency
  • remove obsolete syntax for many command line options without the rd. prefix

The project builds test containers daily for the following Linux distributions:

Alpine, Arch, Debian (amd64 and arm64), Fedora (amd64 and arm64), Gentoo, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Void
These Linux distributions test dracut in various configurations (systemd/OpenRC/runit, glibc/musl, dhclient/NetworkManager/systemd-networkd).
