Bug#731709: grub-efi UEFI support based on debian-cd work complete (repos)

Unless
the user requests two bootloaders that are incompatible the medium can
be created.

Ignoring bootloaders is not a good idea. If the user requested
something that is not possible the build should report an error and
stop.

Yeah, that it's hard to implement from the perspective of a single
bootloader script. So I decided not to implement it.

You could add an additional script or function named:
check_compatible_bootable_pairs (as you propose) but then you need to
maintain that fictional database each time a new bootloader gets in.

That's why I decide to avoid it using it.

What it's straight-forward to implement is one of the only-secondary
bootloaders finding themselves as a primary bootloader and outputting a
warning message. But, I'm not sure what to put there as a warning. Any
suggestion?

Unsupported bootloader combination or whatever.

It should not be a warning however. The script should avoid making
unbootable medium.

Thanks

Michal

I have implemented: Check_Primary_Bootloader_Role, Check_Secondary_Bootloader_Role functions for avoiding non supported bootloader combinations on:

https://github.com/adrian15/live-build/tree/efi_support_based_on_debian_cd_rebased

So that part is solved.

(I'll send a proper rebased set of patches in the future).
