Package: u-boot Severity: wishlist Tags: d-i Hi Vagrant,
as just discussed the d-i mimic of installing u-boot should also be available when updating u-boot packages in an installed system. There may be cases, where automatic updates may not be desired or where defaults are just simply not matching, so there should probably be a /etc/defaults/u-boot with: - an option to ENABLE/DISABLE - dd parameters like offset - the u-boot flavor and image file (if one would want to override it) When enabled the u-boot postinst should ensure the latest code is auto-activated just like at the end of d-i when installing the system. Since duplicating d-i code is not what we want, this probably means also creating a udeb with the u-boot-tools (and especially this "installer") and moving the relevant installer heuristic over to u-boot and replacing it in d-i with a matching structure to call this new tool. Best, Kilian
