Kendell is babbeling something about broken UEFI in manjaro-tools due a package replacement. Please check if we need to adopt things ...

hi
On second thought, an update is needed. I'm not exactly sure of the
problem, but the images built with manjaro-tools-git do work, but uefi
doesn't seem to. Running efibootmgr with the flash drive plugged in,
after a reboot of course, shows no entry for the drive. I tried
executing one of the efi loaders in /usr/share/efitools/efi, and the
error I got was:
Cannot open assembly ./file.efi. File does not contail a valid CIL
image. I have no idea what that means, but it means someone with a lot
more knowledge than I will have to look at it. This isn't critical, at
least on my end because we're still in alpha, just reporting it so it
can get looked at. File.efi is whichever efi file I try this on. All of
the ones in /usr/share/efitools/efi do this.
Thanks

hi all
The sonar and manjaro profiles currently will not build after this
morning's update which replaces prebootloader with efitools. The scripts
will need to be update to either use a different loader or generate one,
which is why I think efitools was included, to improve manjaro and
sonar's support for secure boot computers. I can't update the scripts I
don't have the slightest clue what will need to be changed, just sending
this email to let the list know.
Thanks
