Hi All,
I was looking at packages that needed updating. I noticed that dracut was at version 056. The source for that had version 059 but that was from Dec 2022 and the last commit in that repo was Mar 2024.
There is a new repo providing dracut-ng. Their version 100 (Apr 2024) is said to be a drop-in replacement for the original dracut. They are now at version 108 and it is being actively maintained.
With it being said to be a drop-in replacement I thought dracut-ng looked a good candidate to test out but as dracut plays a critical role in the booting process I thought I would ask if anyone has any information to indicate that it is not worth trying it.
Regards,
Adolf.
