powerel-upgrade-dracut - initramfs environment for PEL Upgrades
================================================================
Toshaan Bharvani <toshaan@vantosh.com>
This is 'powerel-upgrade-dracut', the initramfs environment for PEL Upgrades.
This tool is forked from/based upon 'redhat-upgrade-dracut' with original
author Will Woods <wwoods@redhat.com>
Components
----------
It has the following parts:
`90system-upgrade/`
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This module provides a (distro-neutral) framework for running upgrades.
* Adds three dracut hooks: `upgrade-pre`, `upgrade`, and `upgrade-post`.
* Adds `upgrade.target`, which runs the above hooks (in order)
* Automatically includes any other modules named `system-upgrade-*`
* 'BONUS:' adds system-upgrade-shell.service
`85system-upgrade-powerel/`
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is the PEL 'system-upgrade' implementation.
* Includes upgrade tool, SELinux policy, plymouth, etc.
* Copies initramfs to `$NEWROOT/system-upgrade-root`
* Runs 'system-upgrade-powerel' binary in the `upgrade` hook
* Save log & journal to `/var/log/upgrade.{log,journal}` before reboot
`system-upgrade-powerel.c`
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The actual upgrade tool.
* Upgrades system using packages from `$UPGRADELINK`
* Sends progress updates to `plymouthd`
* Sends status output to console + journal
The actual upgrade setup is handled in the main 'powerel-upgrade-tool' package.
Based upon the 'redhat-upgrade-tool', which can be found here:
