Bug#1027786: RFP: limine -- Modern, advanced, portable, multiprotocol bootloader.



Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

* Package name    : limine
  Version         : 4.20221230.0
  Upstream Author : mintsuki <mintsuki@protonmail.com>
* URL             : https://limine-bootloader.org/
* License         : BSD
  Programming Lang: C
  Description     : Modern, advanced, portable, multiprotocol bootloader.

Limine is an advanced, portable, multiprotocol bootloader that supports Linux,
multiboot 1 and 2, the native Limine boot protocol, and more. 

Limine is a very fast bootloader, and higly configurable. It is easier and
faster to configure compared to GNU GRUB as changing the configuration only
involves editing limine.cfg in /boot. I use it in one of my Arch Linux install
and it has been working great for me so far.

Limine has been packaged in Alpine Linux and EasyOS. It is also avaliable in the
AUR for Arch Linux. I would like to have the Debain team package it so it can be
adopted in the Debian environment.
