The installation manual (http://wiki.ipfire.org/en/hardware/arm/wandboard/wandboardquad) says: "Please note, after each kernel update the boot.script needs to be adjusted and the convert_bootscript.sh or the containing command needs to be executed." Thereof, the steps of adjusting boot.script and running mkimage seem to be necessary after each kernel update. They don't seem to be done by the update mechanism itself at the moment. > > What are you exactly trying to solve here? > This is what I'm trying to provide: A script that can be executed by Pakfire after an update.
