The BOOTMETH_* shouldn't be a requirement I think you are right: depending on the boot method is a bit too specific. The original intention was to advertise a system as compliant only if we could guarantee that it would boot automatically with UEFI (in this patch with the default filename, and in previous patch with the boot manager). There did not seem to be an easy way to guarantee that with the configurations dependencies. What you see here is a second attempt, trying to -at least- avoid advertising as compliant a system, which we know cannot boot automatically with UEFI. Even for that depending on the BOOTMETH_* configurations is probably not good enough after all. I think you mentioned that you or Heinrich could amend the patches before merging; do not hesitate to let me know if you prefer that I send a v2 series with the dependency here and in the previous patch removed. > > Cheers > /Ilias > > + depends on !EFI_VARIABLE_NO_STORE > > + depends on BOOTM_EFI > > + depends on EFI_BINARY_EXEC > > + depends on EFI_DEVICE_PATH_TO_TEXT > > + depends on EFI_DEVICE_PATH_UTIL > > + depends on EFI_GET_TIME || !DM_RTC > > + depends on EFI_PARTITION > > + depends on EFI_SET_TIME || !DM_RTC > > + depends on EFI_UNICODE_CAPITALIZATION > > + depends on EFI_ESRT || !EFI_HAVE_CAPSULE_SUPPORT > > + depends on EFI_RUNTIME_UPDATE_CAPSULE || !EFI_HAVE_CAPSULE_SUPPORT > > + depends on EFI_CAPSULE_FIRMWARE || !EFI_HAVE_CAPSULE_SUPPORT > > + default y > > + > > config EFI_ECPT > > bool "Enable the UEFI ECPT generation" > > default y > > help > > - Enabling this option created the ECPT UEFI table. > > + Enabling this option creates the EFI Conformance Profiles Table > > + (ECPT). > > > > config EFI_EBBR_2_1_CONFORMANCE > > - bool "Add the EBBRv2.1 conformance entry to the ECPT table" > > - depends on BOOTMETH_EFI_BOOTMGR > > - depends on EFI_ECPT > > - depends on EFI_LOADER_HII > > - depends on EFI_RISCV_BOOT_PROTOCOL || !RISCV > > - depends on EFI_RNG_PROTOCOL || !DM_RNG > > - depends on EFI_UNICODE_COLLATION_PROTOCOL2 > > + bool "Add the EBBR v2.1 conformance entry to the ECPT" > > + depends on EFI_ECPT && HAVE_EFI_EBBR_2_1 > > default y > > help > > - Enabling this option adds the EBBRv2.1 conformance entry to the > > ECPT UEFI table. > > + Enabling this option adds the Embedded Base Boot Requirements > > (EBBR) > > + v2.1 conformance entry to the ECPT. > > > > config EFI_CONSOLE_DISABLE_ANSI > > bool "Disable ANSI escape sequence queries for console size" > > > > -- > > 2.53.0 > >
