I think the long term goal should be to align with the https://systemd.io/BOOT_LOADER_INTERFACE/ and https://systemd.io/BOOT_LOADER_SPECIFICATION/ (and extend those specs to cover all the missing bits for the bootloaders used by Fedora) in order to make the interface between the bootloader and OS well defined. That will make easy to mix and match bootloaders and OS, but there is still a lot of work to do in order to achieve that. > > -- > Tomasz Torcz 72->| 80->| > tomek@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx 72->| 80->| Best regards, Javier _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
