Hi Peter,
I'm trying to build fwupdate. I know it's early, but I'd like to make it
testable on Debian. It's not buildable for me because it barfs on this:

I'm actually not sure where efi.h is supposed to come from. I see a
fwup-efi.h in fwupdate's source and no efi.h in efivar's source. Am I
missing something?
geofft pointed out to me that I probably want gnu-efi installed. It's
missing from the build requirements in the spec file, so you probably
want to add that. Once I build depend on that, I get further, but it
looks like Debian's gnu-efi uses a different library path:

I've got:
$ dpkg -L gnu-efi | grep usr/lib
/usr/lib32
/usr/lib32/libefi.a
/usr/lib32/crt0-efi-ia32.o
/usr/lib32/elf_ia32_efi.lds
/usr/lib32/libgnuefi.a
/usr/lib
/usr/lib/crt0-efi-x86_64.o
/usr/lib/libefi.a
/usr/lib/elf_x86_64_efi.lds
/usr/lib/libgnuefi.a
So that's fun... I'm not sure of the best way to handle this.
Also, what's the status of your dp branches for efibootmgr and efivar? I notice that
efibootmgr 0.11.0 doesn't build with efivar 0.18. A Debian user has also
reported that efibootmgr crashes on him when using libefivar0 0.18:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=785786
This part still stands.
