Thanks Steve. At this time I'm leaning more towards removing the link vs. changing what it points to. AFAICT, the link really just serves as a hint that it should be paired with OVMF_VARS.ms.fd. But IMHO, that's better clarified for humans in documentation, which we now have in /usr/share/doc/ovmf/README.Debian, and for programs via the /usr/share/qemu/firmware descriptors.
Also, if anyone *is* using the link, I think it'd be a more obvious failure mode for a guest to now fail to boot due to a missing file than if it starts up but just seems to hang or whatever because we've changed the behavior. Let me know if you disagree. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1864535 Title: What is OVMF_CODE.ms.fd for?
