From 89ab0d27c99ce4899829ab45001c0955db1149ab Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli Date: Thu, 7 Jan 2021 00:56:11 +0100 Subject: libre: uboot4extlinux-sunxi: lower maintenance costs - We can now do cross builds of u-boot: - We can now more easily work on the package as we don't need an ARM computer for that anymore. - It also enable people already using Parabola on x86 to more easily install, test, or repair u-boot for an ARM computer as users can simply install it on microSD cards without needing to use ARM chroots. - There is now an install script to install u-boot: - It makes things easier for users as it is more similar to grub-install than dd commands. - It also does many checks at the same time to avoid data loss. - The commands to split packages are now shared between all package_ functions. This lower maintenance. - How to add a new board has been made more clear. Comparison with other distributions (for consistency): - u-boot doesn't have anything to handle the installation and update of u-boot binaries if UEFI is not used. - Debian has an u-boot-install-sunxi script which handles way more cases than what I wrote (it even handles GPT and so on and even has a manual), but there seems to be no tools to update u-boot. - Openembedded doesn't seem to have anything special in the u-boot recipe in openembedded-core Signed-off-by: Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli --- libre/uboot4extlinux-sunxi/uboot4extlinux-sunxi.hook.in | 11 +++++++++++ 1 file changed, 11 insertions(+) create mode 100644 libre/uboot4extlinux-sunxi/uboot4extlinux-sunxi.hook.in (limited to 'libre/uboot4extlinux-sunxi/uboot4extlinux-sunxi.hook.in') diff --git a/libre/uboot4extlinux-sunxi/uboot4extlinux-sunxi.hook.in b/libre/uboot4extlinux-sunxi/uboot4extlinux-sunxi.hook.in new file mode 100644 index 000000000..8cfa27bcc --- /dev/null +++ b/libre/uboot4extlinux-sunxi/uboot4extlinux-sunxi.hook.in @@ -0,0 +1,11 @@ +[Trigger] +Type = Package +Operation = Install +Operation = Upgrade +Target = @pkgname@ + +[Action] +Description = Test +When = PostTransaction +Exec = /usr/bin/cat /usr/share/doc/u-boot/@pkgname@/install-uboot4extlinux.txt +NeedsTargets -- cgit v1.2.3
