[PATCH] Corrections to doc/en/genkernel.xml

Hey there,

the current genkernel docs refer to variables and parameters that do not
exist any more. Please consider applying the attached patch for me.

This table summarizes my changes:

OLD NEW
=============================================
--no-initrdmodules --no-ramdisk-modules
--all-ramdisk-modules

--debuglevel --loglevel
--debugfile --logfile

DEBUGLEVEL LOGLEVEL

Best,

Sebastian

Hi, thanks for your patch.

Does it bring the entire doc up-to-date with the latest stable
genkernel version, or do we need to keep the "obsolete" disclaimer in
there?

Here's a patch to update genkernel's actions, as well as fixing a "--no
install" typo.

Please apply.

Sebastian

Wait, this makes no sense. Are both options in genkernel? Do they do
the same thing? If so, shouldn't one of them be removed?

Thanks for the rest of your patch; it's applied. I'll wait for your
reply before committing.

Not so fast :-)

Yes, both are supported in the latest stable release.
You can consider one an alias, see here:
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=251702#c3

I just noticed you have applied the full patch already. Thanks.

Best,

Sebastian
