|    Bug#1032610: reliably composable initram    |
|    17 Nov 25 14:20:02    |
      XPost: linux.debian.bugs.dist       From: edelbitter@posteo.de              > you want mkinitramfs to support multiple compressed parts              I would caution against that and rather only add the quick and easy bit:              1) Fixing the regression and adding autopkgtest is adds little code yet       solves the hassle for any *manual* workflow that once worked.              2) Actually parsing such archives is way more complicated - and for       what? Unless       unmkinitramfs was aiming for perfect bug-compatibility with kernel code       it would       always harbor potential for dangerously misleading output.              > whether 3cpio supports multiple compressed parts              No. Looks like it shuts down even if current decompression stopped short       of EOF:       https://github.com/bdrung/3cpio/blob/2ffd9dc9ce46f5d885fb066eef7       b127889918e2/src/examine.rs#L85       https://github.com/bdrung/3cpio/blob/2ffd9dc9ce46f5d885fb066eef7       b127889918e2/src/extract.rs#L181       (Still good, insofar it means my suggested unconditional padding does       not make it crash.)              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
