[PATCH 0/2] Fix and cover systemd-boot usage in bookworm

[Anton Mikanovich]

Starting from bookworm systemd-boot was moved into separate package
which was not installed by default.
Add missed dependency variable on systemd-boot for wks files with this
bootloader usage. Also cover it with CI enabling failed configuration
for qemuarm-bookworm target.

[Anton Mikanovich]

The package systemd-boot was separated from systemd starting from
Debian Bookworm. This makes targets using this bootloader declare
additional dependency based on distro version. Add variable
SYSTEMD_BOOTLOADER_INSTALL to use as IMAGE_PREINSTALL in configs.

Seems like PATCH 1/2 did not make it, also not in the archive.

Willing to give it a try... But as Henning already mentioned patch 1

It looks like Google Groups issue, because there are all 3 mails on 
maillist.
Anyway, here are declarations I've used there:

SYSTEMD_BOOTLOADER_INSTALL = "systemd"
SYSTEMD_BOOTLOADER_INSTALL_debian-bookworm = "systemd-boot"

We can't just use 'systemd < 251 | systemd-boot' syntax in direct apt-get
install calls, but maybe the way of installing imager deps can be 
rebuild later
to use more flexible dependencies syntax.

Nope... It did not make it into my inbox and I can't find it in the
archive (google groups) as well. Coverletter and 2/2 made it.

Please resend.

Hm... I'm quite sure hat we (will) have more affected distributions
like Ubuntu.

Nope. Ubuntu do not have systemd-boot package, even kinetic with systemd 
251.2
has bootloader inside.

This is just a resend on p1 from '[PATCH 0/2] Fix and cover systemd-boot 
usage in bookworm'

Yes this is kind of hard to maintain. But will likely do. Not sure we
need to cater for all distros out there, but only for the ones in isar.

Unlike the other bootloaders this one comes from inside the target
rootfs, it is a PREINSTALL for the image, not an IMAGER_INSTALL ...
which kind of is a PREINSTALL for the build chroot.

So i suggest to somehow cover that subtle difference i.e. by naming the
variable SYSTEMD_BOOTLOADER_PREINSTALL

In fact the variable should always be "systemd" and used for all
distros. More modern ones would append or replace it with the
systemd-boot-efi.

Thanks for the heads up. I've checked and seems we have an issue with Google
Groups. Interestingly, on https://groups.google.com/g/isar-users/c/AM9L31ugDco
I do see patch 1 but not patch 2 -- the opposite of what you see; probably
distributed server issues.

I got both patches over the list yesterday, within about a minute of sending.
I've bounced them to you and Florian. Bouncing to isar-users, I got the
following response from Mail Delivery Subsystem <mailer-daemon@googlemail.com>:

    ** Message not delivered **

    Your message couldn't be delivered to isar-users@googlegroups.com because
    the remote server is misconfigured. See technical details below for more
    information.

    The response was:

    Circular loop detected

If you experience further issues, please let me know off-list.

With kind regards,
Baurzhan

Why should systemd-boot be any different to other EFI bootloaders? Is
our plugin different from all the others? The normal way is indeed
installing it via IMAGER_INSTALL.

As Henning already mentioned systemd-boot(systemd-boot-efi) files (like
systemd-bootx64.efi) supposed to be installed on target rootfs to be used
during the boot process, while IMAGER_INSTALL will place them on buildchroot
only.
