Review: ukiboot 0.2.1+git20260604.ec869c7-1
Package Information
| Description | UEFI based A/B bootloader Small UEFI bootloader implementing an A/B boot protocol similar to Android boot. When installed as EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI, UKIBoot is loaded by the UEFI firmware and chainloads a UEFI binary from either the ukiboot_a or ukiboot_b partition, depending on the active boot slot. It is primarily intended to boot Unified Kernel Images, which may contain a Linux kernel, initrd and kernel command line, optionally signed for Secure Boot. The slot handling is modelled on Android Verified Boot v2 and supports systems with UEFI firmware only. This package contains the EFI binaries. |

Final Comment
Thanks for your diligence on ukiboot.
I noticed a slight slip in debian/copyright where some authors found
in the source files are missing. Specifically, test/ctltest.py has a
copyright notice for Alberto Ruiz, and efi/generate_binary.py lists
Javier Martinez Canillas and Richard Hughes. These need to be
documented to properly reflect the source.
