I've almost finished the feature to add to usr/gen_initramfs.sh::dir_fileli= st() parsing of: filter:/path/to/filter_script.sh:/path/to/directory/ A generic solution that can generate a cpio list dynamically. My feature's current status is "working well". I use it to include a sub-set of just-built modules in the initramfs with some additional ./Makefile top-level magic. I noticed this proposal to move scripts so want to provide a heads-up. I described the technique as 'sneaky' in my email of 30th July: "How to move usr/Makefile call to just before vmlinux_a target ?" In it I add usr/Makefile.add_modules. It relies on being able to include, unmodified, usr/Makefile, and use its targets. Does moving usr/gen_initramfs.sh to scripts/ infer my 'example' script usr/gen_initramfs_dirlist_filter.sh should also be prepared to move to scripts/ ? It feels like that would be moving it from its logical home. Due to the trial-and-error process whilst developing it, and much additiona= l debug logging to understand call flows, it is not currently in a state to propose= . My aim is to clean it up by end of this week (8th August) and post an RFC patch series.
