Description Damian Ivanov 2020-10-26 11:10:17 UTC
Description of problem:
sytemd-boot can not use shim for secureboot,
an alternative are the efitools:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jejb/efitools.git

Fedora spec file:
https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/home:jejb1:UEFI/efitools/efitools.spec

Although this would need editing by someone from the core
team to add signing of these *.efi files with the Fedora key.

Sorry for my ignorance... how is this related to the *fedora-packager* package?

Comment 2 Damian Ivanov 2020-10-26 18:26:10 UTC
This looked like the most correct component, what is the correct component for a package request?
I looked for a couple of minutes for "package request" "base" "general" etc. my bad

Comment 3 Ben Cotton 2021-02-09 15:21:34 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 34 development cycle.
Changing version to 34.

Hello Damian, 
I suggest to follow the packaging review process should you want to make it available for Fedora repository.

Comment 6 Ben Cotton 2022-05-12 16:07:32 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 34 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 34 on 2022-06-07.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a
'version' of '34'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora Linux version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora Linux 34 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora Linux, you are encouraged to change the 'version' to a later version
prior to this bug being closed.

Comment 7 Ben Cotton 2022-06-07 23:49:10 UTC
Fedora Linux 34 entered end-of-life (EOL) status on 2022-06-07.

Fedora Linux 34 is no longer maintained, which means that it
will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we
are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
