[gentoo-dev] [PATCH 1/1]: profiles/use.desc: add efi global use flag

[Andrew Ammerlaan <andrewammerlaan@gentoo.org>]

Hi all,

Currently we have 7 packages defining the efi flag and an additional 2 
defining the uefi flag. These flags do the same thing, add support for 
(U)EFI booting. I therefore propose we introduce efi as a new global 
flag and later rename the uefi flag to efi in sys-apps/fwupd and 
sys-apps/ipmicfg.

I don't have a strong preference between the efi or uefi flags, but 
since a majority of the packages has chosen efi I suggest we go with that.

Best regards,
Andrew
