dkt - debian kernel toolkit
Hi folks
Some of you already know that I'm working on something new. It is for
named dkt, debian kernel toolkit[1]. It is a replacement for the
maintainer script parts of kernel-package. But it can be extended to do
much more.
The features for a first release should be at least:
- Support for linux, xen and xenolinux images.
- Generic image sorting and selection like update-grub, but more
configurable (see [2] for some preliminary examples).
- Support for grub, lilo, zipl and yaboot.
- fstab-rewriting (this is not part of the core implementation).
- Support for initramfs-tools.
The following things probably won't be supported:
- symlink-farm in /boot.
The design looks a little bit like Apache. The real functionality is
loaded as modules and are glued together with a rather small core.
