Subject: [PATCH 00/11] Combine edk2-tools and ovmf firmware
Date: Mon, 13 May 2024 11:19:31 +0300

This patch set aims to combine the edk2-tools and the ovmf firmware
sources, so that they're built out of the same sources and share the
same version.  I was able to test some of the system tests requiring the
UEFI firmware for x86_64 after also applying the patch in bug#70912.  I
did some work to try to get the %test-gui-uefi-installed-os system test
to pass on aarch64, but it's not quite there yet.

In theory edk2-tools (and make-ovmf-firmware) should be more limited in
the supported-systems, but I haven't made any changes there yet.  Also,
the ovmf-x86-64 and ovmf-i686 packages add CFLAGS that only allow it to
be built on x86_64 or i686 systems, but I haven't investigated if it
would be ok to remove those flags or if we should limit the
supported-systems to those two.
