Hi Nick, This grub upload only adds some extra pre-built binaries for BIOS and IEEE1275. It does not change any bootloader code, and it does not even rebuild the boot binaries for UEFI Secure Boot platforms (built by grub2-unsigned).
The aim was to backport the removal of cd-boot-images from the ISO build process to Noble. Originally the above debian-cd MP was meant to do that for all arches, I believe, but it was scaled back to riscv64 as that does not require any extra pre-built bootloader binaries: https://code.launchpad.net/~adrianoco/debian- cd/+git/ubuntu/+merge/484319 cd-boot-images are now considered pure technical debt and a not so good idea, as they resulted in multiple boot incidents on Secure Boot due to ISO images ending up with outdated bootloaders, and they have proven to provide no tangible benefits. With the above context, please let me know how to proceed? Or if the SRU team wishes to keep the ISO build technical debt as opposed to the GRUB changes? I am not so sure waiting till 24.04.4 is a good idea, given that past precedent shows that these type of changes have a 99% chance of not making it around such times due to business and de- prioritisation. Mate P.S. Adriano is no longer @ Canonical, so I am taking over this now. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2112584 Title: Stop using cd-boot-images-* in noble To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian-cd/+bug/2112584/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
