Hi! Thibaut Girka is hacking on d-i for the FreeRunner as a GSoC project this year, Gaudenz mentor and I co-mentor.
As you probably know the FR uses U-Boot as bootloader. When installation is finished, the environment for U-Boot needs modification so we can boot. Last year at DebConf I worked on an udeb for uboot-envtools which I dusted off recently. This udeb will: * Install uboot-envtools. * Sanity checks for /boot partition (U-boot needs this to be ext2). * Add menu entry in d-i main menu after boot loaders. Invoking it would modify the U-Boot environment with data gathered during installation. (I.e. partition which /boot resides on.) The work so far is in uboot-envtools packaging git repo on alioth. [0] Feedback is very welcome, also debian-boot has the final saying in udeb matters IIRC. Gaudenz commented on the udeb and said that it might be better to create an uboot-installer package, similar to other boot-loader installer packages in d-i. How should this proceed? Continue with uboot-envtools-udeb or create uboot-installer and put it in d-i repo?
