dracut-020
==========
- changed rd.dasd kernel parameter
- arm kernel modules added to kernel-modules
- make udevdir systemdutildir systemdsystemunitdir global vars your distribution should ship those settings in /etc/dracut.conf.d/01-distro.conf
see dracut.conf.d/fedora.conf.example
- kernel modules are now only handled with /sys/modules and modules.dep
- systemd fixups
- mdraid: wait for md devices to be clean, before shutdown
- ifup fixed for ipv6
- add PARTUUID as root=PARTUUID=<partition uuid> parameter
- fixed instmods() return code and set pipefail globally
- add 04watchdog dracut module
- dracut-shutdown.service: fixed ordering to be before shutdown.target
- make use of "ln -r" instead of shell functions, if new coreutils is installed
- network: support vlan tagged bonding
- new dracut module qemu and qemu-net to install all kernel driver
- fs-lib/fs-lib.sh: removed test mounting of btrfs and xfs
- no more "mknod" in the initramfs!!
- replaced all "tr" calls with "sed"
- speedup with lazy kernel module dependency resolving
- lots of speedup optimizations and last but not least
- dracut-install:
- new binary to significanlty speedup the installation process
- dracut-functions.sh makes use of it, if installed

$ dracut-install --help
Usage: dracut-install -D DESTROOTDIR [OPTION]... -a SOURCE...
   or: dracut-install -D DESTROOTDIR [OPTION]... SOURCE DEST

Install SOURCE to DEST in DESTROOTDIR with all needed dependencies.

  -D --destrootdir    Install all files to DESTROOTDIR as the root
  -a --all            Install all SOURCE arguments to DESTROOTDIR
  -o --optional       If SOURCE does not exist, do not fail
  -d --dir            SOURCE is a directory
  -l --ldd            Also install shebang executables and libraries
  -R --resolvelazy    Only install shebang executables and libraries for all
SOURCE files
  -f --fips           Also install all '.SOURCE.hmac' files
  -v --verbose        Show more output
     --debug          Show debug output
     --version        Show package version
  -h --help           Show this help

Example:

# dracut-install -D /var/tmp/test-root --ldd -a sh tr
# tree /var/tmp/test-root
/var/tmp/test-root
|-- lib64 -> usr/lib64
`-- usr
    |-- bin
    |   |-- bash
    |   |-- sh -> bash
