Please submit additions to the spec as PRs to systemd github. We added
a number of new keys in the past that sd-boot itself doesn't make use
of (devicetree and such), and we'd be delighted to add more if they
make sense and that helps.
Thanks. I'll discuss this with the rest of the bootloader folks and
think how the spec could be extended to cover the remaining cases
where variable expansion is still used for GRUB. The new keys could be
generic and even benefit other bootloaders if they implement these
features at some point (e.g: boot entries protection).
Since you are in contact with and thus presumably you are one of the
"bootloader folks" could you clarify who those individual are and what
role they play and which bootloaders they represent in the distribution
and on which arch etc. and where they can be contacted ( mailinglist )
since I don't find any documentation about any bootloader WG existing
within Fedora yet such a team seems to exist since it's being mentioned.
Sure, I meant the members of the Red Hat bootloader team (Peter Jones,
Jan Hlavac and me) and people who are not part of the bootloader team
but work very closely with us and help to improve the boot stack in
general. Mostly Hans de Goede and Christian Kellner but also others.
Peter maintains all the projects in https://github.com/orgs/rhboot and
their respective packages in Fedora. And I help him with that work. We
are also involved in the upstream communities of the bootloaders that
are used in the architectures supported by Fedora. These are:
- GRUB (x86_64 legacy BIOS and EFI, aarch64 EFI and ppc64le OF)
- Petitboot (ppc64le OPAL)
- zipl (s390x)
- u-boot (armv7).
But for the last two most of the work and the package maintenance is
done by Dan Horák (s390utils-base) and Peter Robinson
(uboot-images-armv7).
All these people can be contacted in the Fedora devel mailing list. I
hope this answers your question, please let me know if you need more
details.
This was precisely the info I was looking for.
Thanks
JBG
