Package: systemd Severity: wishlist systemd ships kernel-install which can be used to install kernels for boot loaders conforming to the boot loader spec, such as gummiboot, barebox, and potentially others I am not aware of.
This is implemented in: http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=users/jak/systemd.git;a=summary git://anonscm.debian.org/git/users/jak/systemd.git Notably, I cherry-picked the upstream commits for src/kernel-install, and then changed all paths from /boot to /boot/efi, and added a kernel-install package. Finally, I enabled EFI support. Note that this patch set hard-codes /boot/efi for the boot loader stuff. This is because /boot/efi is used by d-i on EFI installations and because our kernels install to /boot directly, so we cannot mount the ESP at /boot, as that would conflict with the goal of a shared ESP partition. For non-UEFI platforms this choice is a bit sub-optimal from a name perspective, but I believe it is the best we can do, the other alternatives I imagined would be: * Use kernel preinst hooks to divert kernel installations to /boot/$MACHINE_ID/$KERNEL_VERSION/{vmlinuz,initrd} * Create a symlink farm in /boot, pointing to the contents of /boot/efi -- Package-specific info: -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (980, 'unstable'), (500, 'unstable'), (100, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.13-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.utf8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages systemd depends on: ii acl 2.2.52-1 ii adduser 3.113+nmu3 ii initscripts 2.88dsf-53 ii libacl1 2.2.52-1 ii libaudit1 1:2.3.4-1 ii libc6 2.18-4 ii libcap2 1:2.22-1.2 ii libcap2-bin 1:2.22-1.2 ii libcryptsetup4 2:1.6.4-4 ii libdbus-1-3 1.8.0-3 ii libgcrypt11 1.5.3-4 ii libkmod2 16-2 ii liblzma5 5.1.1alpha+20120614-2 ii libpam0g 1.1.8-3 ii libselinux1 2.2.2-1 ii libsystemd-daemon0 204-9 ii libsystemd-id128-0 204-9 ii libsystemd-journal0 204-9 ii libsystemd-login0 204-9 ii libudev1 204-9 ii libwrap0 7.6.q-25 ii sysv-rc 2.88dsf-53 ii udev 204-9 ii util-linux 2.20.1-5.7 Versions of packages systemd recommends: ii libpam-systemd 204-9 Versions of packages systemd suggests: ii systemd-ui 3-1 -- no debconf information -- Julian Andres Klode - Debian Developer, Ubuntu Member See http://wiki.debian.org/JulianAndresKlode and http://jak-linux.org/.
