IMO, it would be useful if the UEFI Forum's ESP Vendor Subdirectory Registry included the names of their driver/service/app .efi files, and pointers to their CRL for certificate checks. Especially the boot loaders/managers and tools that sysadmins might be needed to configure a system to use. Right now, the registry is IMO not that useful. In machine readable form, perhaps SPDX or some similar metadata format, so UEFI users can better verify files on ESP files, most of which are on ACL-free FAT file systems.
It'll also help the Microsoft Windows defender team build a list of files to delete. :-) On 06/05/2015 08:18 AM, Richardson, Brian wrote: ... > An OS specific loader (bootmgfw.efi, grub.efi, …) will be placed by the OS installer. Those files live in directories with names reserved by the UEFI Forum (\EFI\Microsoft\, \EFI\RedHat, …) to avoid conflicts. The OS installer will also create a UEFI boot variable in NVRAM (BOOT0001, BOOT0002, …) with a path to that loader and set it as the top boot order entry. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ edk2-devel mailing list edk2-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/edk2-devel
