Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Jonas Smedegaard <dr@jones.dk>
* Package name : yaird

Description : Yet Another mkInitRD
YAIRD is a sysfs-based initrd builder. It determines which modules
to load based on the same algorithms as hotplug. Unlike Debian's
stock initrd-tools, the kernel being booted need not support the
now-deprecated devfs.
.
This version builds the newer cpio format initrds, even though the
stock Debian configuration uses the older format. Thus, having
cramfs compiled into the kernel is not necessary. YAIRD supports
only kernel 2.6.
I am in good dialogue already with upstream about the Debian packaging.
