Major infrastructure changes, part 2.
* Moved helpers, common and triggers dirs into xbps-src, where
they belong.
* Renamed the templates dir to srcpkgs, it was so redundant before.
* Make it possible to add subpkgs with no restriction in names, for
example udev now has a subpkgs called "libgudev". Previously
subpkgs were named "${sourcepkg}-${pkgname}".
* xbps-src: changed to look for template files in current directory.
That means that most arguments from the targets have been removed.
* xbps-src: added a reinstall target, to remove + install.
* xbps-src: do not overwrite binpkgs by default, skip them.
And more that I forgot because it's a mega-commit that I've been
working for some days already...

.SH SYNOPSIS
|

.B update\-initramfs
|
||||
.RB \-c | \-d | \-u
|
||||
.RB [ \-k
|
||||
.IR version ]

.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||||
The
|
||||
.B update\-initramfs
|
||||
script manages your initramfs images on your local box.
|
||||
It keeps track of the existing initramfs archives in /boot.
|
||||
There are three modes of operation create, update or delete.
|
||||
You must at least specify one of those modes.
|
||||
|
||||
The initramfs is a gzipped cpio archive.
|
||||
At boot time, the kernel unpacks that archive into RAM disk, mounts and
|
||||
uses it as initial root file system. All finding of the root device
|
||||
happens in this early userspace.
|
||||
|
||||
.SH OPTIONS
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
\fB \-k \fI version
|
||||
Set the specific kernel version for whom the initramfs will be generated.
|
||||
For example the output of uname \-r for your currently running kernel.
|
||||
This argument is optional for update. The default is the latest kernel version.
|
||||
|
||||
The use of "all" for the
|
||||
.I version
|
||||
string specifies
|
||||
.B update\-initramfs
|
||||
to execute the chosen action for all kernel versions, that are already known
|
||||
to
|
||||
.B update\-initramfs.
|
||||
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
\fB \-c
|
||||
This mode creates a new initramfs.
|
||||
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
\fB \-u
|
||||
This mode updates an existing initramfs.
|
||||
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
\fB \-d
|
||||
This mode removes an existing initramfs.
|
||||
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
\fB \-t
|
||||
Allows to take over an custom initramfs with a newer one.
|
||||
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
\fB \-v
|
||||
This option increases the amount of information you are given during
|
||||
the chosen action.
|
||||
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
\fB \-b

Set an different bootdir for the image creation.
