[systemd-devel] systemd-bless-boot not updating the loader.conf?

[Itxaka Serrano Garcia]

Hey folks,

we are currently implementing systemd-boot boot assessment on Kairos, where
we have a few entries under /loader/entries/

We made it so they start at threes tries so the config fails are for
example active+3.conf

On boot, we can see the filename renamed properly to active+2-1.conf until
the systemd-bless-boot starts, checks that the system is in complete boot
(reached boot-complete.target) and it marks it as good and renames it to
disable the boot assessment


Nov 21 13:08:10 kairos-vfog systemd[1]: Starting systemd-bless-boot.service
- Mark the Current Boot Loader Entry as Good...
Nov 21 13:08:10 kairos-vfog systemd-bless-boot[1522]: Marked boot as
'good'. (Boot attempt counter is at 1.)
Nov 21 13:08:10 kairos-vfog systemd[1]: Finished systemd-bless-boot.service
- Mark the Current Boot Loader Entry as Good.

That's all good and dandy but now, our loader.conf is pointing to the
active+3.conf as the default key, so that wont match anymore.

Should systemd-bless-boot update the default entry in loader.conf if it
matches the current boot loader entry? Should systemd-boot ignore the boot
assessment part in the loader.conf default?

Does loader.conf accept a regex for the default entry so this can be fixed
by setting the entry to ^WHATEVER\+\d+(-\d+)?.conf$ ?

Cheers!
