I'm talking about distro bootloaders being able to read $BOOT in the pre-boot environment. If Fedora decides $BOOT Is ext4, that binds other distros looking to adopt BLS into shipping signed efifs ext4 too, in order to use the same $BOOT format we are. Or else, ignore our XBOOTLDR and create their own, in which case we're right back to square one, which is mutually exclusive /boot, no sharing or cooperation between distros. -- Chris Murphy _______________________________________________ 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 Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
