I've done all that I know how to do there and I think it should be mostly fine already. Also, most of the renaming should be straightforward anyway. Looking back, maybe I *shouldn't* have renamed anything - it's just cosmetic and makes the patch look scary :) The functionally important parts are the build-side procedure (install-u-boot), the config data objects (u-boot-configuration) and the selection logic in gnu/system.scm (*bootloader-configuration-*). It's actually no big deal. > For parts two and three I'd have to rely on you, since I don't have > access to hardware to actually test it... No problem. I have 3 ARM boards here that I can test it on. They are quite slow - so testing means ~ 3 days of waiting-for-it-to-finish-compiling. But I don't have to sit next to it and wait :) I do think that the extlinux.conf generation is finished as well. I will test it, though.
