A new release of mkinitcpio has been tagged. The release can be downloaded from GitLab: https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/mkinitcpio/mkinitcpio/-/releases/v33 Changes since the previous release: Announcements: * Development has moved to the Arch Linux GitLab instance. The new URL is https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/mkinitcpio/mkinitcpio Changes in mkinitcpio: * Introduce DECOMPRESS_MODULES in mkinitcpio.conf. Allows the user to toggle if modules should be recompressed during initramfs creation or not. Defaults to "yes". * Support UKI generation on AArch64. * Introduce a new --remove switch which allows mkinitcpio to remove all mkinitcpio generated files. Only works together with the -p/-P switches currently. * In the initramfs the file /etc/os-release, symlinked to /etc/initrd-release, is now included. systemd enabled initramfs environments might need this file. * Supports finding kernel version in gzipped non-x86 kernels. * Try to properly resolve symlinks when adding files into the initramfs. Changes in hooks: * install/fsck now includes the e2fsck binary and symlinks fsck.ext* utilities to this binary. * install/fsck will no longer attempt to include nonexistent fsck helpers. * install/kms will attempt to include modules that implement the privacy screen feature. Currently the module names are hardcoded. Changes in packaging: * mkinitcpio-remove and mkinitcpio-install are now unified into a single script installed to 'libalpm/scripts/mkinitcpio'.
