What's the /lib/mkinitramfs-ll/init.sh trickery for?

[tokiclover]

it's not a trickery at all. it's really a simple script that would generate basic helpers [`/lib/mkinitramfs-ll/bin], so other scripts or user scripts can use a few of them if need be. actually zfs is implemented using the helpers as an example. i did not want to seperate the init script (550~600 is manageable right now). and i did not want to start separating specific init functions to basic helpers?

There seems to be a problem, that anytime you change the init you also need to fix the line numbers in the helper generators. And the whole approach seems to me just like scratchning left ear with right hand.

Right. Do you have a better approach? Keeping the init script this way, one
can be able to build everything at hand easily without ever needing what is
in ./usr' or even./usr/lib/mkinitramfs-ll/init.sh' or whatsover.

I'm the first person who is annoyed by that shit... and tend to forget to
edit that file. And then tear my head over walls here and there. So I know
that pretty well.

Now, if I did that thing that way, it was to let the very few users who use
that script(s) to made their own to add to initramfs. Yes, nobody did any(
and send it). So I've implemented zfs that way as an example. And yet
nothing. -;)

The easy way is... stripe away the init script and make a definitive
`/lib/mkinitramfs-ll/fuctions.sh' or even add helpers with that. So I'd be
done with it.

Nobody is against it?

see https://github.com/yaccz/ynitramfs/blob/master/init#L7-L10 In the future the functions shall be defined in something like initlib which would be sourced by init. which wil exeucte.

This will also allow unit testing of the initlib

[tokiclover]

for looking how to make a ~/.shrc like file, or else, one can run source $initlib/function.sh for now untill then with the 0.12.0 version bump.

[tokiclover]

closing, fixed with 0.12.0
