What's very questionable is my ability to dedicate time to this project in future (even though in my experience Debian's version was already perfect stability-wise, so updates won't likely have any urgence). But I've spent this evening rebuilding it from Debian's version, with a key difference from yesterday's IRC release: annoyed by a bootloader requiring D-bus, I completely removed machine-id support from gummiboot, making it the world's lightest bootloader dependency-wise (compared against Lilo, Grub2, and Syslinux). As a result of this the folder structure in the EFI partition was changed, but in my tests it was proven fully backwards compatible... It's also now a separate package name which prevents regular versions of gummiboot (and my previous release) from installing! As for preservation, this is all my knowledge recommended me... :) https://github.com/rboninsegna/gummiboot-nomachineid/releases/tag/v48-100 _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
