I get it - trying to deal with more than one loader is a lot of extra work. I may still try to make an EDK2 RPM for the Pi 4, to work on my particular issue... if I could get that to build in a Fedora-compatible way, would that be something I could submit to Fedora? I don't want to make U-Boot life harder, but having the option (at least on select, aka one, platforms) might be useful. -- Chris Adams <[email protected]> -- _______________________________________________ arm mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[email protected] Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
