Subject: [PATCH] Add lzo, lz4 compression and read INITRD_COMPRESS
|
||
|
||
This patch adds support for lzop(1) & lz4(1) compression
|
||
algorithms to compress iniramfs image file. Both are supported
|
||
by the Linux kernel.
|
||
|
||
Linux kernel exports user's choice of initramfs compression
|
||
algorithm as a shell environment variable: INITRD_COMPRESS.
|
||
This patch adds support to read this variable and duly compress
|
||
the initramfs image file.
|
||
|
||
Environment variable INITRD_COMPRESS has less precedence than the
|
||
command line options --gzip, etc. Ie. command line options could
|
||
override the compression algorithm defined by $INITRD_COMPRESS.
|
||
|
||

||
|
||
[Edited-by: Harald Hoyer: add documentation about lzo and lz4]
