s/elvis/vim/g

Well, as far as I know elvis still does not have UTF-8 support even in the (unofficial?) git repo and if I can trust what I read there are not much features available in elvis but not in vim.

I realize that elvis is smaller. Maybe move it to /pasture or /extra?

I guess that our BDFL will not welcome this suggestion (but didn't he migrate to vim himself?). Waiting for the flame war to begin

PS This is my post #7500 @ LQ. Maybe I should have waited to reach #10000...

I've always preferred elvis over vim, but lack of mbcs support is a severe impediment to its usefulness and given the move to default utf8 in the next release now is probably the time to address this. Anyone still running sbcs will likely still find it useful, so /pasture seems like a good option.

I personally switch to vim as one of the first post-install operations but I just change the /usr/bin/vi symlink to point to /usr/bin/vim.

elvis is pretty useful to have installed and I bet would be still used by a lot of people also if Slackware will move to using vim by default (there's also who is using the real ex out there, not the symlink to vim) so, IMHO, I would opt to just changing the symlink and not moving it away from the default install...

who push this bullshit to our beloved Slackware?
My best guess is piterpunk, who gave us the slackpkg tool. The first time I ever upgraded my Slackware install, I conducted everything manually, as there was no other option. When slackpkg came along, I was amazed at how it handled everything so easily and cleanly. As for pushing, slackpkg resided in /extra through a number of releases before becoming part of official Slackware. The long gestation allowed for thorough examination of the then new tool.

If the lilo prompt now appears dated with the appearance of (and requirement for) newer boot loaders, it simply reflects the longstanding tradition of lilo being the official Slackware boot loader. If the prompt now peeves you, why not use the clever functionality that is provided within slackpkg? Simply copy /usr/libexec/slackpkg/functions.d/post-functions.sh to a new file that lexicographically sorts after the original, amend the lookkernel() function to suit your needs along the lines suggested by Loomx, then enjoy your local customisation. I have being doing this for years, so that I am automatically prompted to build a new initrd when required.

As a continuing user of lilo, I want the existing functionality retained.

I also appreciate that Slackware still gives a nod to past contributors to the open source community by retention of software that seems quaint and quirky to those without the history.

Perhaps this brief history might tone down some of the denigration from the nitpickers who have not given to Slackware what others have done in the past.

mkinitrd - the Wed Jul 12 23:11:53 UTC 2017 way

Running the 4.12.0 kernel I just built the 4.12.1 one:
Code:
root@riposo:/boot# uname -a
Linux riposo 4.12.0-burdi64 #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Jul 3 11:28:06 CEST 2017 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6700 CPU @ 3.40GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

Be sure to run lilo again if you use it.
root@riposo:/boot#
which overwrote my current initrd instead of creating the new 4.12.1 one.


And now with kernel 4.12.0 as well as 4.12.1 I have a hang / timeout at glib-compile-schemas. I am not sure how this relates to the above symptoms though ...

You found a bug in the patch I sent for mkinitrd. Sorry. In fact that's because -k is passed after -o, therefore, %KVER% is replaced by the current kernel version.


Here is a patch to fix that :

I always pass the options in a different order, hence I didn't catch that :/
As an aside, you need this, burdi01:

Code:
CLEAR_TREE="1"
KEYMAP="us"
MODULE_LIST="sd_mod:ahci:ext4"
ROOTDEV="YOUR_ROOT_DEV"
ROOTFS="ext4"
OUTPUT_IMAGE="/boot/initrd.gz-%KVER%"
Then you can just do this:
Code:
mkinitrd -F -k 4.12.1-burdi64

mkinitrd

I can confirm the Thu Jul 13 19:24:36 UTC 2017 a/mkinitrd-1.4.11-x86_64-2.txz version to resolve my problem.

My command is a one-line text file in my /boot directory that I update and "sh" every time for a new kernel.
