Package: gummiboot
Version: 45-2
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
The attached patch fixes the following issues:
- On first install, gummiboot must be invoked with "install" instead of
"update". Up until now the user has to manually run "gummiboot install"
after first installing this package. Looking at src/setup/setup.c,
it seems okay to always invoke gummiboot with "install" regardless
if the package is installed for the first time or upgraded: If gummiboot
is already installed it will simply be overwritten.
- On removing the package, gummiboot is not removed from the EFI partition.
- gummiboot offers the option "--no-variables" which prevents changes to
the EFI boot order. One example where this option comes in handy is a
dual-boot Mac on which the user wants to continue booting OS X by default.
The patch makes this option configurable. I've set the priority to
"critical" because changing the boot order can break the system.
As always, "there's more than one way to do it", so feel free to make
any modifications you deem necessary. Let me know if there are questions
on why I did something one way or the other.
Kind regards,
Lukas

+Template: gummiboot/change-efivars
+Type: boolean
+Default: true
+Description: Should gummiboot change the EFI boot variables on installation?
+ Normally when gummiboot is installed, it creates an entry in the EFI boot
+ variables and adds it to the top of the boot order list. Disabling this
+ feature retains the existing boot order.
+ .
+ E.g. on an Apple Macintosh, if you would like to continue booting OS X
+ by default, you need to disable this feature. (Hold down the option key
+ on startup whenever you want to load gummiboot instead.)
+Description-de.UTF-8: Soll gummiboot die EFI Boot Variablen Àndern?
+ Normalerweise wird bei Installation von gummiboot ein Eintrag in den EFI
+ Boot Variablen erstellt und an den Anfang der Bootreihenfolge gesetzt.
+ Schalten Sie diese Funktion aus wenn Sie die bisherige Bootreihenfolge
+ beibehalten möchten.
+ .
+ Wenn Sie z.B. einen Apple Macintosh verwenden und weiterhin
+ standardmÀÃig OS X booten möchten, mÃŒssen Sie diese Funktion
+ ausschalten. (Halten Sie beim Einschalten die Alt-Taste gedrÃŒckt wann
+ immer Sie stattdessen gummiboot laden möchten.)
