Bug Description
[Impact]
fwupd-efi 1.4 fixes issues with firmware updates on some hardware and is the first release with the NX bit set.
[[Release Notes]]
## 1.3
This release fixes the following bugs:
Fix a regression when applying updates on an HP M60
Fix the ARM system crt0 name
Show the version when starting fwupd-efi
## 1.4
This release fixes the following bugs:
Add additional checks for incompatible CRT0
Align sections to 512 bytes
Generate images that are NX compatible
Use manual symbols mode on ARM32
Use objcopy to build arm/aarch64 binaries for new binutils
[Workflow]
fwupd-efi is built in ppa:ubuntu-
[Test plan]
- Boot it in the VM
- Boot it on real hardware (Julian can check built binary on ThinkPad T14 G3 AMD)
[Where problems could occur]
fwupd efi binary could regress on some platforms if there's bugs, preventing people on those platforms from upgrading their firmware.
[See also]
bug 2011804 for the related gnu-efi update.
[Other info]
We branched kinetic fwupd-signed packaging off a bit, and hence the versioning is now 1.51.1 (lunar is at 1.52), and it is that 1.51.1 that gets also backported to older releases (reuploaded with ~22.04.1 and similar).
Some changes were needed for the SRUs due to the fwupd-unsigned build-dep being to strong in 1.52, and having to install binaries to /usr/lib on bionic.
This brings it in line with grub2-signed., which also maintains one devel series and one stable series.
