Subject: New changes to bootimg-efi.py break some wic installer image methods
Date: Mon, 24 Aug 2020 11:28:39 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <822ebe79-db79-49c9-c422-5f85ae7587ea@linux.intel.com> (raw)

Hi,

The changes in 
https://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/?id=801f07fc00d43d107cb6ae671dbbb57ee91cc6be 
prevent creating an installer image using wic described here: 
http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/meta-intel/tree/README#n201.

This is because the IMAGE_BOOT_FILES intended for bootimg-partition, now 
override the efi files added by efi-bootimg.

The simplest solution would be to use a different variable for the bootimg-efi 
plugin such as IMAGE_EFI_BOOT_FILES. IMAGE_BOOT_FILES and IMAGE_EFI_BOOT_FILES 
could always be set to the same values if desired.

I'm not sure this is the "best" solution, but it would allow for both methods to 
coexist with a relatively small change.
