We did (try to...) convert installs from grub to grub2 when we did that migration in Fedora...16?...when using the 'official upgrade path' (anaconda, at the time), so that precedent suggests we should do the same for EFI. If not in F18 with package updates, at least in F19. It wouldn't be fedup's job exactly, I don't think. If I understand the design right, fedup is designed so that other packages can ship scripts which should be run during fedup operations. So the design would probably be that the grub2-efi package should obsolete grub-efi, and ship a fedup script that should be run on upgrade from grub-efi to grub2-efi, to migrate the system across. I believe these are basically dracut scripts. wwoods would no doubt be able to correct all the errors I have inevitably made in the above :) -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
