Yes sorry, I don't use the correct vocabulary (actually I did this job a few months ago and I need to recall what I did exactly ;-) ) Right… What I meant was that I made an ebuild which installs the development kit in a Gentoo machine. > What do you download? > "UDK" is downloadable from sourceforge as a package; see eg. > <http://www.tianocore.org/udk2014/>. "UDK2014 is a stable release of > portions of the EDK II project." Yes, that's exactly what I actually download and install: UDK2014.SP1.P1. > But I don't know why Gentoo users would want that > What is your excuse? :) Well, I simply wanted to write my own UEFI boot loader application (as GRUB, ELILO, rEFInd, etc.) I first started to use gnu-efi which seems to be more « adapted » to the linux world (meaning using only standard linux toolchain) but I gave up because it was not maintained enough for me (stable versions did not have latest developments on UEFI). I then decided to use EDK2, but then had 2 choices : either install it in my home directory or install it as every other program in Gentoo. I chose the second solution, which should make it easier to manipulate now (meaning more classical) for Gentoo users. For example, it should now be possible to compile rEFInd, while Gentoo automatically installs EDK2 (or UDK2) as a build dependency. Is this clearer now? Sorry my english sometimes may not be as good as it used to be (both for writing and understanding)… :-) So, do you think this is not the way I should have done it? How do you see it? What was doing the Debian package you are talking about? -- Bien cordialement, / Plej kore, Stéphane Veyret _______________________________________________ edk2-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.01.org/mailman/listinfo/edk2-devel
