[arch-projects] [mkinitcpio][PATCH 00/26] patchbomb (maybe some bug fixes)

[Dave Reisner]

I'd like to get a mkinitcpio release out the door in the next few weeks, but
first we need actual patches to do that, so... here we go. The majority of this
is style tweaks and bug fixes, but there are a few small new features I'll
point out:

1) Allowing soft failures on modules -- if a module ends with a '?' character
and the module isn't found, this won't trigger an error. Folks building custom
kernel and building in modules like ext4 or sd_mod will find this useful.
2) busybox is installed during the build process rather than doing the install
at bootstrap. Tom and I thought this made sense since the initcpio should be a
"build once, use many" sort of scenario. Do the repetitive work up front where
feasible.
3) Allow the 'break' variable on the cmdline to provide a pre or post-mount
shell prompt. The behavior of 'break' or 'break=y' remains untouched.
4) Better support for keymap/consolefont in non-sysvinit environments. This
stems from FS#24685. Basically, I went with a middle ground and we now source
/etc/rc.conf in these hooks which means a systemd user can simple source
/etc/vconsole.conf, /etc/locale.conf and then remap the variables to the names
expected under normal circumstances. sysvinit users should notice absolutely
no change in behavior here.

I'll be testing this throughout the week as I have time, but anyone who has
feedback or wants to mention that I broke everything is more than welcome to.
Easiest way to get all of this is pull from my 'for-thomas' branch on github:
