dracut-054
With this release dracut has undergone a major overhaul.
A lot of systemd related modules have been added.
The integration test suite has finally ironed out the flaky behaviour due to the parallel device probing of the kernel,
which bit sometimes in the non-kvm github CI. So, if you see any /dev/sda in a setup script with more than two hard drives,
chances are, that the script works on the wrong disk. Same goes for network interfaces.
This release is also fully shellcheck'ed with ShellCheck-0.7.2 and indented with shfmt and astyle.
The dracut project builds test containers every day for:
opensuse/tumbleweed-dnf:latestarchlinux:latestfedora:rawhidefedora:latestfedora:33
These containers can easily be used to run the integration tests locally without root permissions via podman.
We hope this serves as a blueprint for your distribution's CI process.
More information can be found in docs/HACKING.md.

dracut-051
dracut:
-
allow running on a cross-compiled rootfs
dracutsysrootdir is the root directory, file existence checks use it.
DRACUT_LDCONFIG can override ldconfig with a different one that works
on the sysroot with foreign binaries.DRACUT_LDD can override ldd with a different one that works
with foreign binaries.DRACUT_TESTBIN can override /bin/sh. A cross-compiled sysroot
may use symlinks that are valid only when running on the target
so a real file must be provided that exist in the sysroot.DRACUT_INSTALL now supports debugging dracut-install in itself
when run by dracut but without debugging the dracut scripts.
E.g. DRACUT_INSTALL="valgrind dracut-install or
DRACUT_INSTALL="dracut-install --debug".DRACUT_COMPRESS_BZIP2, DRACUT_COMPRESS_LBZIP2, DRACUT_COMPRESS_LZMA,
DRACUT_COMPRESS_XZ, DRACUT_COMPRESS_GZIP, DRACUT_COMPRESS_PIGZ,
DRACUT_COMPRESS_LZOP, DRACUT_COMPRESS_ZSTD, DRACUT_COMPRESS_LZ4,
DRACUT_COMPRESS_CAT: All of the compression utilities may be
overridden, to support the native binaries in non-standard places.DRACUT_ARCH overrides "uname -m".
SYSTEMD_VERSION overrides "systemd --version".
The dracut-install utility was overhauled to support sysroot via
a new option -r and fixes for clang-analyze. It supports
cross-compiler-ldd from
https://gist.github.com/jerome-pouiller/c403786c1394f53f44a3b61214489e6fDRACUT_INSTALL_PATH was introduced so dracut-install can work with
a different PATH. In a cross-compiled environment (e.g. Yocto), PATH
points to natively built binaries that are not in the host's /bin,
/usr/bin, etc. dracut-install still needs plain /bin and /usr/bin
that are relative to the cross-compiled sysroot.DRACUT_INSTALL_LOG_TARGET and DRACUT_INSTALL_LOG_LEVEL were
introduced so dracut-install can use different settings from
DRACUT_LOG_TARGET and DRACUT_LOG_LEVEL. -
don't call fsfreeze on subvol of root file system
-
Use TMPDIR (typically /run/user/$UID) if available
-
dracut.sh: add check for invalid configuration files
