Subject[PATCH] kbuild/mkspec: clean boot loader configuration on rpm removal
Message-ID<r8fWO-pB-13@gated-at.bofh.it>
This patch add a rpm preuninstall scriptlet to cleanup the
boot loader configuration on kernel package uninstall.
The initrd for the to-be-removed kernel is deleted, too.

Maybe we should also switch to new-kernel-pkg for the postinstall call? 
How about switching to kernel-install?

Thanks,
Hannes

new-kernel-pkg probably shouldn't be used here either.  The
installkernel binary is the distro agnostic kernel installation tool
and the various distros provide that as either the tool they use or as
a wrapper.  Switching to new-kernel-pkg implies this would only be
viable on grubby based distros, and using kernel-install would require
systemd.

I'm sorry, I try to dig a bit, but I did not find any distro agnostic
kernel removal tools. Can you please point out some ?

Elsewhere can we stuck with new-kernel-pkg, plus eventual fall-back to
other options, i.e. kernel-install?

Thank you,

Paolo
