#63814 — Bug#926875: initramfs-tools backward compatibility removal

FromFlorian Strankowski <fs@uniquoo.com>
Date2019-04-11 19:20 +0200
SubjectBug#926875: initramfs-tools backward compatibility removal
Message-ID<xLLwJ-1k6-3@gated-at.bofh.it>
Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.130

When ifdown is invoked, it still checks for IFDOWN beeing supplied 
within /conf/initramfs.conf. Due to the nature of evolution, this has 
been moved to /etc/dropbear-initramfs/config within the release of stretch.

#######

if grep -q ^DROPBEAR_IFDOWN= /conf/initramfs.conf; then
     # XXX backward compatibility; remove once Stretch is the current stable
     . /conf/initramfs.conf
     IFDOWN="$DROPBEAR_IFDOWN"
fi
if [ -e /etc/dropbear/config ]; then
     . /etc/dropbear/config
fi

#######

I suggest to move the checks to the accordingly right file which is now 
/etc/dropbear-initramfs/config. Further a backward-compability check for 
upgraded systems should be in place or a warning (like when setting up 
cryptotools) to move already set variables like "IFDOWN=" to the 
appropriate new configuration-path (see above).

This is part of dropbear-initramfs and not initramfs-tools itself.
