Subject: cloud-initramfs-tools: Update udevadm path

Date: Wed, 25 Jan 2017 14:42:36 +0100

Package: cloud-initramfs-tools
Version: 0.18.debian5
Severity: normal
User: pkg-systemd-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: udevadm

Hi,

since Jessie, the udevadm binary is available as /bin/udevadm.
To not break existing scripts, which use the old /sbin/udevadm path,
the udev package currently ships a compat symlink which we would like
to drop eventually (in buster or buster+1).

According to codesearch [1] your package cloud-initramfs-tools does hard-code the
udevadm path as /sbin/udevadm.

Please change that to /bin/udevadm.

Thanks for considering.

Michael,
on behalf of the pkg-systemd team.

With stretch being released and buster open for development, it would be
a great opportunity to get this fixed now. So please consider adding
this change in your next upload.

If you are worried about backports: /bin/udevadm is already available in
Debian jessie (oldstable) or Ubuntu trusty (14.04LTS). So it's safe to
use the /bin/udevadm path.

Michael

You might also consider not hard-coding the path at all, and simply rely
on PATH being set properly. This should be a safe assumption, especially
since the binary is now in /bin

Subject: how to use initramfs-tools hook-function's copy-exec

Date: Mon, 25 Sep 2017 22:39:18 -0400 (EDT)

Hi,

In cloud-initramfs-tools, udevadm is referred to by /sbin/udevadm only in
growroot/hooks/growroot with 'copy_exec /sbin/udevadm /sbin'.

It appears that even in most recent version of initramfs-tools only
supports full paths to as copy_exec's first argument.

What is the recommended way to use 'copy_exec' without a full path?

I can make cloud-initramfs-tools do something to the extent of:
  udevadm=$(which udevadm) &&
      copy_exec $udevadm /sbin ||
       { echo "failed copy_exec udevadm"; exit 1 }

But this seems like a generic issue with 'copy_exec' that it requires
full paths to files.

What is the advised solution here?

Thanks,
Scott

I'll fix cloud-initramfs-tools to find udevadm in PATH, but
it seems like the right thing to do is to fix:
  https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=597580

And then to make cloud-initramfs-tools just use:
  copy_exec udevadm
