Hi, In the following mail there will be a patch that adds grub-coreboot. The './pre-inst-env guix lint grub-coreboot' command shows some warnings: [...]/bootloaders.scm:301:2: grub-coreboot <at> 2.06: label 'qemu' does not match package name 'qemu-minimal' [...]/bootloaders.scm:301:2: grub-coreboot <at> 2.06: label 'gettext' does not match package name 'gettext-minimal' [...]/bootloaders.scm:301:2: grub-coreboot <at> 2.06: file names of patches should start with the package name [...]/bootloaders.scm:301:2: grub-coreboot <at> 2.06: probably vulnerable to CVE-2022-2601, CVE-2022-3775, CVE-2021-3981 [...]/bootloaders.scm:301:2: grub-coreboot <at> 2.06: updater 'gnu' failed to find upstream releases but since this package is based on grub-coreboot, I guess that things should be fixed there instead.

Which tests? Are they testing things that are not valid in a grub-coreboot context? Is it not reasonable or not plausible to selectively disable only the failing tests? QA seems to build it fine, and nothing else obviously leaps out at me. live well, vagrant

I've looked into it, and the reason the test fails is similar than with UEFI: many tests require to build a Coreboot image (and also to build cbfstool which is available in Coreboot)[1]. And building Coreboot for qemu would require to deblob it first, and simply using Libreboot for that doesn't work anymore because recent versions don't deblob Coreboot and even ship nonfree software in the releases. So at some point we will likely have some clean solution for that, but it could take some time. In the meantime if the comment is changed for the following, would it work for you? > ;; TODO: Tests need a (deblobbed) Coreboot firmware for qemu. Or do I really need to disable the failing tests[2]? References: ----------- [1]To be more precise in tests/util/grub-shell.in we have: > if [ x$boot = xcoreboot ]; then > imgfile=`mktemp "${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/tmp.XXXXXXXXXX"` || exit 1 > cp "${GRUB_COREBOOT_ROM}" "${imgfile}" > "${GRUB_CBFSTOOL}" "${imgfile}" add-payload -f \ > "${rom_directory}/coreboot.elf" -n fallback/payload > [...] > fi And GRUB_COREBOOT_ROM and GRUB_CBFSTOOL are not provided anywhere so somehow the user has to provide them. It's also pretty clear (for people used to Coreboot) that GRUB_COREBOOT_ROM is a Coreboot image because the cbfstool command above is for coreboot images.
