It's aimed at providing UEFI shell implementation which is very
useful for repairs and debug; if the "signed" mode is requested
then the signed variant is used either.
Please note that there are two distinct uses:
- a shell lying around on a filesystem to be copied by hand;
- a shell available in EFI part of boot media to be launched
by firmware's or standalone boot manager (e.g. refind).
Let's provide the official terminal emulator as the reference one,
and those preferring others are welcome to include these either.
(to some extent this commit is biased towards regular.mk though)
The reason is that the most interesting live images by now are
installable ones, and while configurable boot order is not there yet
the "classic" livecd images will require manual choice to boot.
Thanks sem@ for reminding of that FR (which is still open).
It would be great to have #28289 fixed either so that aris@
could approve the image as usable (I totally agree that it's
a major piece of real world functionality currently missing)
looks like there's sense to prepare a starter iso for tests.
Currently done for 40-autologin script only but might be
more widely useful: when describing an action to be done
while forming the LiveCD image, also prepare the one that
undoes the effect so that an installed LiveCD doesn't
(mis)behave as if it were young again.
NB: livecd-install provides 50-{gdm,kdm}-autologin-off.sh
hooks which can collide with ours, so let's override those
until things are sorted out properly at both sides.
PS: some half-year old nodm hacks are still in place for t6/branch
(and #27451 should be re-examined when dropping those).
- added destination homeros-nano.iso yields minimal
speaking image;
- added "homeros" feature contain scripts appropriate
for general Homeros functions but need further development.
The current refind support implementation doesn't boot
with either USB Flash or CD-ROM for me (due to the different
actual volumes, FAT vs El Torito, accordingly).
And when it does, a host with Secure Boot present and not
disabled yet would turn the unsigned kernel down unlike ELILO
(due to rEFInd using "natural" calls to boot it).
Both issues are reported upstream; in the meanwhile let's
migrate a single test image but build the rest with elilo.
It's not e17-default alone right now, gnome-icon-theme package
appears requisite at the moment so that menus and IBar aren't
half-empty regarding graphics.
Thanks aris@ for the advice and lots of patience with me.
UEFI support is pretty requisite by now;
and el-smp hasn't seen updates for almost
half a year by now so an actively maintained
one is clearly preferred.
