This part wouldn't really be a problem in the scheme Johann suggests above, because 'sdboot' would just be another bootloader class in anaconda in this case, along the several we have already. > IMHO a better preparation for deprecating BIOS would be to make new > installs bootable with both BIOS and UEFI.

That would have to be implemented as another class too, probably. :) https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda/tree/master/pyanaconda/modules/storage/bootloader is where all this is implemented at present (mostly, the classes there do pull in various bits of config and info from other places). There's already quite a mess there, anything we add without taking a way any existing capabilities will make it a slightly bigger mess... -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org 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@lists.fedoraproject.org
