Description James Le Cuirot gentoo-dev 2024-12-30 23:07:07 UTC 
Dear maintainers. I think it would be good to get the older edk2 versions cleaned up now, especially as we're close to the "files" size limit on edk2 itself. Please CC arches if you're happy.

I have added all the arches for virt-firmware even though only amd64 and arm64 are strictly needed. We may end up adding support for the others to the edk2 package.

I don't think runtime testing is really necessary, and it's a little involved given that it involves spinning up a VM. Flatcar has heavily tested the amd64 and arm64 firmware in CI. Give virt-firmware a spin if you want, but it's pure Python.

ACK for virt-firmware.
