initrd images unowned
Last modified: 2015-01-04 17:28:28 EST
Description of problem: initrd images in /boot do not belong to any package, should be ghost. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.17-1.2517.fc6 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
Reassigning to correct owner, kernel-maint.
Fixed in cvs, will be in next rawhide.
Adding %ghost /boot/initrd-%{KVERREL}.img to the %files sections caused build errors (Can't find file -- which is understandable, as it's not there during the build process, it gets created at %install time). How should this be fixed?
I'd suggest this here: %ghost %config(missingok) %verify(not size md5 mtime) /boot/initrd-%{KVERREL}.img I have noticed that the kernel images are mode "-rw-r--r--", but the initrd images are "-rw-------". This is strange. Maybe changing the mode for all to "-rw-------" or "-rw-r--r--"?
Just touch the ghost file in install, it will not get appended to the rpm.
This does the trick for me. Since initrd's are created and destroyed in scriptlets, I don't think marking them as %config is worthwhile, not sure about %verify. # rpm -qf /boot/initrd-2.6.18-1.2686.fc6.img kernel-2.6.18-1.2686.fc6 cvs diff: Diffing .

Changes to make initrd images owned by kernel rpms committed, should show up in a rawhide sometime soon.
