[arch-dev-public] [signoff] mkinitcpio 0.6.8-1
Minor update. I would like to highlight two improvements: 1) autodetection of filesystems now only probes the root device, not all block devices. This might solve some bugs with mkinitcpio hanging during image generation. 2) gzipped kernel modules should now be supported. This can increase the installed size of our kernel package by 100MB. Shortlog: Dave Reisner (1): mkinitcpio: mount real root device instead of symlink Thomas Bächler (6): Do not include everything from /block/ in the SCSI hook. autodetect: only probe the root device filesystems: remove cp437, it is added as an extra module whenever fat is used If filesystem autodetection fails, use all_modules instead of checked_modules Support .ko.gz kernel modules, in addition to .ko Release version 0.6.8 Tom Gundersen (1): mount: forbid suid,exec,dev from /proc and /sys

Lol, I meant 'decrease' of course.

I think you were right in the first place. The package itself will be larger but the size of the installed kernel modules combined will be smaller. -- Pierre Schmitz, https://users.archlinux.de/~pierre
