How about we have this discussion about lilo based on simple facts rather than making problems up to throw around as a distraction?
lilo is currently not building correctly lilo is unmaintained upstream lilo is effectively unmaintained in openSUSE
#1 according to Tomas' initial post, this is easily fixed, #2 mature is often indistinguishable from unmaintained #3 ISTR also upgrading lilo myself at some point - yes, in 2011. Quite a few updates since then too.
lilo is broken, the updatelilo scripts cannot find any kernel 3.x or 4.x version. lilo cannot support our default filesystem, btrfs lilo cannot fully support increasingly common GPT partition tables lilo cannot fully support more complex RAID setups
You forgot to mention that YaST does not support lilo, and hasn't done for quite some time. Remarkably, despite all of that and even being broken, lilo continues to work very well. Let's just keep it until it actually stops working. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (11.2°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - dedicated server rental in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
