Description Yannick Schaeffer 2014-05-11 15:24:45 UTC

efibootmgr moved to github (https://github.com/vathpela/efibootmgr/)
compared to version 0.6 this version new support the "new" efivarfs support (added in Linux 3.8)

Reproducible: Always

Comment 1 DJ Dunn 2014-05-29 05:14:00 UTC

this is important for AMD64, and any other arch that uses uefi

Comment 2 Andreas Hermann 2014-06-01 23:58:41 UTC

tried to build the new version 0.7.0, looks like it also needs 'efivar' library hosted at https://github.com/vathpela/efivar

Comment 3 gabriel14_wii 2014-07-11 21:26:37 UTC

We need a more updated ebuild of efibootmgr. I installed Gentoo on a UEFI with Archlinux. 

The efibootmgr(0.7) of Archlinux worked and could give me my efivars. When I chroot in the Gentoo environnement, efibootmgr(0.6) couldn't detech the efivars. I had to grab the latest git version, compile and it worked. I'm on AMD64.

Comment 4 Perfect Gentleman 2014-09-13 07:10:08 UTC

efivar should be added as RDEPEND
https://github.com/vathpela/efivar

Comment 5 Yannick Schaeffer 2014-09-16 11:06:14 UTC

I've added an ebuild on my overlay : https://github.com/Wyti/Wyti-Overlay
Everything seems to work on my computer but feel free to repport any issues on gitHub issue tracker.

Comment 10 Yannick Schaeffer 2014-10-28 12:24:23 UTC

Thoses ebuilds (efibootmgr-0.11.0 and the required sys-libs/efivar) should fix the following bugs 462705, 502470, 523196

Comment 11 Cedric Sodhi 2014-11-15 17:00:07 UTC

We're still suck with an ancient 0.5.4-r1 in stable and 0.6.0 on ~amd64! Why is this still only in the overlay, it's needed urgently!?
