The symlink crossing the /usr boundary might cause issues with merged-usr systems. In that scenario, if the user calls Maybe it would be better to add an "installkernel" USE flag to sys-apps/systemd and sys-apps/systemd-boot to install this symlink instead. We could utilize the rootprefix logic already present there. |
|
That defeats both the primary goal of not requiring the user to alter flags on two packages, and involves huge rebuild in order to switch one symlink. |
|
I really don't think this is the right way to handle this. NAK from me. |
Introduce a 'systemd-boot' flag to toggle symlinking systemd's kernel- install to installkernel, rather than installing the standard Debian script. This makes the kernel's 'make install' target use systemd-boot install layout. While technically this could be introduced separately (e.g. a separate package requiring sys-apps/debianutils[-installkernel]), adding it as a USE flag involves much less complexity and improves visibility. In particular, it makes it possible to toggle the option via one USE flag switch vs having to do some external action plus disable installkernel flag. Signed-off-by: Michał Górny <mgorny@gentoo.org>

I have given it some more thought and I'd like to discuss the problem in a wider scope first. I'll file a bug for that. |
