Created attachment 443754 [details]
efibootmgr-13.ebuild

Copy/paste from my duplicate bug report.

(Side note: I searched for "efibootmgr" before posting my bug report, so how come this bug, posted 2 & 1/2 hrs before mine, didn't show up in the search results? This has happened more than once! I /always/ search for existing bugs/requests before submitting my own.)

New ebuild for efibootmgr-13.

Based off of current efibootmgr-0.12 ebuild in portage tree.

Corrected SRC_URI ("PV" instead of "P"):
-SRC_URI="https://github.com/rhinstaller/${PN}/releases/download/${P}/${P}.tar.bz2"
+SRC_URI="https://github.com/rhinstaller/${PN}/releases/download/${PV}/${P}.tar.bz2"

Although it's not documented anywhere that I could see, this version of bootmgr wouldn't compile with efivar-0.23 (as is currently in portage), so I did a local bump to efivar-26, which then worked for me. (See existing bug 591648)

Also updated paths for the binaries/docs/man pages that seem to have changed, added new efibootdump binary & man page, and removed the Changelog, which is no longer provided:
-	dosbin src/efibootmgr/efibootmgr
-	doman src/man/man8/efibootmgr.8
-	dodoc AUTHORS README doc/ChangeLog doc/TODO
+	dosbin src/efibootmgr src/efibootdump
+	doman src/efibootmgr.8 src/efibootdump.8
+	dodoc AUTHORS README TODO

Might also wish to add a dependency on bug 591648, as it's required for the new version of efibootmgr.

Thanks for the notice.
