[opensuse-factory] EFI system partition subdir registry
Hi, The openSUSE board will most likely register an openSUSE-specific directory in the EFI system partition subdir registry (thanks to Jörg Wiegleb for pushing for this): http://www.uefi.org/registry AFAIK, right now, we use EFI/opensuse. Do we want to register this or instead the real case (EFI/openSUSE), assuming that we'd do the change in our packages? Note that many entries in the registry have mixed case (RedHat, VMware, etc.) Thanks, Vincent -- Les gens heureux ne sont pas pressés. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

From the PoV of consistent branding and message to the outside, I would very much prefer EFI/openSUSE over EFI/opensuse). Dominique -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Default bootloader is grub2 and it defaults to all lower case. It is possible to pass subdirectory explicitly (grub-install --bootloader-id=openSUSE); this requires explicit changes to YaST (to make it configurable) and perl-bootloader. Or openSUSE specific patch. As ESP is case insensitive anyway, I do not think it matters at the end. openSUSE looks prettier in the registry, but having opensuse on disk will not harm. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Should I take this as your +1 to register openSUSE since the case doesn't matter? :-) Cheers, Vincent -- Les gens heureux ne sont pas pressés. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Yes, I think openSUSE should be registered. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
