consider folding into github.com/containers/bootc #432

FWIW, I'm hoping to start using bootupd in Endless OS and I doubt we're going to move to OCI payloads any time in the near future. Not to say that you can't do this or there's not value in unifying there. We'd probably just fork the existing code and carry on with it in that case. |
BTW, I'd love to chat about this with you at some point! Or maybe you can just write up at least briefly here why not or what the blockers/problems you see are? |
I have no issue with this, the only hangup up I could see is how we do messaging about bootc being about doing one thing and doing that thing well (deployments). I guess the bootloader is part of the deployment so...

@dbnicholson what if we did it in a way where one can build bootupd out of bootc git, while keeping all of the existing binaries/etc? |
Unfortunately, my project to use bootupd stalled (even though it appeared to work nicely), and I can't see us getting back it soon. I do think this is a nice little project that has nothing to do with containers or OCI storage, but if it's causing you friction to have it separate it won't affect us right now to subsume it. It would be nice to continue to be able to build |
This project was designed to be distribution independent; that's in theory. In practice today it is tied to both ostree and rpm (though the rpm part is definitely written in an attempted-to-be pluggable way).
But I think it will make more sense to fold this into https://github.com/containers/bootc - we're not going to have non-ostree support anytime soon, and if we do it should work in the same way as bootc. Also, I think we want
bootc bootloader update
e.g.Also, the two projects are similarly named and it will be less confusing to just have bootc, not bootc and bootupd.
