I'm not going to rehash the entire feature set but I'll note a few highly relevant things when I think about this conceptually.
1) The problem with a backport is more than just the KEK and DB plugins, the metadata has been changed into a new format that is ready for PQC. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/jammy/+source/fwupd/+bug/2056548 2) Also; the plugin architecture has changed significantly; plugins are now compiled in as a single library. So you can't just have a drop in plugin for older versions. 3) The plugin ABI has changed (it's not considered stable). Adding support for the ABI used by these plugins will likely mean compromising the ABI of the existing ones. In my mind it really is a giant amount of work to port. By virtue of Ubuntu using a minimally patched fwupd you will lose all of the confidence in cross-distro real world testing of a privileged service that consumes artifacts from the web like this. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2142578 Title: [SRU] fwupd backports for KEK and db updates To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fwupd/+bug/2142578/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
