Steve Baker 27a326dafb Support secure-boot bootloader where possible As of grub2 >= 2.02-95 on redhat family distros, calling grub2-install on an EFI partition will fail with: "this utility cannot be used for EFI platforms because it does not support UEFI Secure Boot." This version of grub is now in centos8-stream and non-eus repos of RHEL-8. It is not currently possible to build whole-disk UEFI images on these distros, and when this package is promoted this will also affect centos8 and RHEL-8 eus. The grub maintainers made this change because the grub2-install generated /boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI will never be capable of booting with Secure Boot. This change defines a $EFI_BOOT_DIR for every distro element. When directory /boot/efi/$EFI_BOOT_DIR exists a grub.cfg file in will be generated there. This change also installs the shim package on redhat family distros, which installs a copy of the shim bootloader to /boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI. Using centos as an example, this allows UEFI to boot the shim /boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI which then chains to /boot/efi/EFI/centos/grubx64.efi. If /boot/efi/$EFI_BOOT_DIR doesn't exist (such as for Ubuntu, /boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu) the current behaviour of running grub-install to generate /boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI will continue. For distros such as Ubutnu where packaging does not populate /boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu with .efi files, secure boot can be added in the future by copying .efi files to /boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu and copying the shim file to /boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI.

opensuse

Use an openSUSE cloud image as the baseline for built disk images. The images are located in distribution specific sub directories under

https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Cloud:/Images:/

These images should be considered experimental. There are currently only x86_64 images.

Environment Variables

DIB_RELEASE

Required: No
Default: 15.1
Description: Set the desired openSUSE release.

DIB_CLOUD_IMAGES

Required: No
Default: https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Cloud:/Images:/(openSUSE|Leap)_${DIB_RELEASE}
Description: Set the desired URL to fetch the images from.

Notes:

There are very frequently new automated builds that include changes that happen during the product maintenance. The download directories contain an unversioned name and a versioned name. The unversioned name will always point to the latest image, but will frequently change its content. The versioned one will never change content, but will frequently be deleted and replaced by a newer build with a higher version-release number.
