Having been using this code again myself recently, at the high level, this is useful. Having to copy/paste in N UUIDs gets silly. But I also wonder..

Is this really an important use case to cover? The way I see things, would it be possible (and not a pain) to make the UUID part of the partition string passed to 'gpt write' optional. If not passed, generate the UUIDs needed. What was used would be seen in 'part list' and so forth. - -- Tom -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJTFI32AAoJENk4IS6UOR1WAyQP/2bfClvRaWtLzUDggRUnNr99 RKSgB1m/nl09ZwclB2Gn1FZL2IR/M0u+ia89FE9leSN4eoOEswN2rrUiExVv7QpJ d+oCH/H3oNDAyb9L4HXXYHeRGCVHK7KE/KP5Ngb7KfTGZhj5kHdkx9iQM7dO9OtX DmvW5+JoRXgXPkpmvy5s20IzRUbBEqGC6Z2h8Y/VKHTDnrUmYvFb6XPgjwwrYVB6 +Hx/7K2R1uXQTuoHM7FqVAqKx7GGiUmcpLG90iHeYcX4fib/+RwC7hcre0rRj71v NyAnO4t0nXKefLXYe5iGold7cNx9xUKO3s4u2EkC9lNGRkN6RcVuaxzEKGD4/QTX fHA2q6FwSVLv4lXBT6UWxXiky2C9TMY/DUNM0EWe2KSx2V2glXPKiBX7gRk0Rq0d EWq1G5oQS0qiZgb+vUQ4Acf4/HDjhAl1l18Hx6w+26LNvz8Fi+o7Om4kkBdI5sos GX2auS1RxQc3qQkrAjxFx1xpDr9iMikV6nNqYDcVU894PeCgzmUWaWG/IrBFixO6 2XjF1sMth8LrVqUHirh3Y7lDU+FFPP+mMb6eaY3oajtVkg3u6cpQ0eJ0A612CsXG oaTPxWKKTsWlBxaVIgzu2OXeYg5BJF4OTKxjNiV2wptheEVc4RVLDiQ1yf74YEHy Hve7lpxa9i4Oo9Vf2Pd7 =5FKf -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
