Add efibootmgr to the extra packages. #144

Closed sil2100 closed 6 months ago

sil2100 commented 4 years ago

Paul from certification mentioned that we're missing efibootmgr on core18, even though it was around for core16. Prepared this PR to hear from people involved if we can enable it or not.

@sil2100 do you know which was the use case here? I'm fine with the change, but not sure if it makes sense to add new packages at this stage to core18.

The use case AIUI was testing efi variables etc. on an ubuntu core system, the cert team has tests to make sure that reboots work and that the right values are set for the default boot entry, etc.

Also these days most of efibootmgr things can be done with bootctl.
