It's dash compatible to be used also at boot-time. For now it's included
by dracut-functions and replaces functions: dinfo(), dwarning() and
derror(). New options are introduced: -L|--stdlog, and -q|--quiet to
control stderr verbosity. Logging to file or syslog may be controlled by
options set in config file.
Note that code is not adjusted to the meaning of the new logging
functions, yet.
Doxygen formatted documentation (as a proposal, by the way) is included
in dracut-logger.
inst_dir used the following to try to resolve a relative path:
[[ $target = ${target##*/} ]] && target="${file%/*}/$target"
inst_dir $target
This will only match if $target has no slashes, so something like
/usr/bin -> ../sbin would result in: inst_dir ../sbin, or
/usr/share -> local/share would result in: inst_dir local/share
which is not going to do the right thing.
Instead, we resolve any non-absolute link, like so:
[[ $target == ${target#/} ]] && target=$(dirname "$file")/$target
Thus /usr/bin -> ../sbin results in: inst_dir /usr/../sbin, and
/usr/share -> local/share results in: inst_dir /usr/local/share
which is what you would expect.
The FIPS installkernel() relies on the instmods() return value. So only
return 0, if the module and its dependencies were actually installed
correctly.
Commit 172d85b9c9 caused following error:
./dracut-functions: line 307: cd: /tmp/initramfs.mP7cPY/tmp/initramfs.mP7cPY/lib64: No such file or directory
Patch removes beginning $initdir for symlink case.
It happens that either due to newer modprobe or missing depmod
module-init-tools cries.
Suppressing the error ensures for a funny debug search for the user.
Resulting initramfs is generally unbootable due to missing module deps.
Better use the quiet option of modprobe itself.
It makes it less chatty, but doesn't suppress "fatal" errors.

This is a patch series I have been playing with for awhile.
It cleans up some of the dracut code and adds a PKGBUILD file to make
it easier to use in Arch Linux.
Make sure that we do not accept module name which is substring of
some other module name. This resulted in piix being mistakenly loaded
together with ata_piix. It completely broke DVD access here.

modprobe included in version prior to 3.7 of module-init-tools doesn't
have -d | --dirname option which allows to give a prefix other than
'/' for kernel modules path. Dracut assumes existence of that
option and uses it even with default '/'. The patch passes -d option
only if it's different from default and also checks module-init-tools
version if user changes the prefix by --kmoddir Dracut option.
this makes dracut load kernel module specified in add-drivers even
if building an host-only mkinitrd, it is useful in cases where we
might change some storage drivers and still don't want to build
an enormous initrd (e.g. ahci/ata_piix)
