[meta-efibootguard] Retrofitting to poky-morty

[dmitri....@litmusautomation.com]

Hi Everyone,

I started work on retrofitting `meta-efibootfuard` to poky monty. I forked from the current master and created `morty` branch. The efibootguard packages build fine so far but here is an issue with wic plugins. It seems that they were upgraded just few days ago to the newer wic version .I'm trying to revert this particular commit and see if this would be sufficient. Any suggestions are welcome.

I will post my patch once everything is tested and ready to go.

Regards,

-Dmitri

P.S. One more thing I want to do after this is conditional instantiation of `watchguard` based on distro features (i.e. `systemd` vs `initscripts`). I will post a separate patch shortly after.

That's something Andreas can probably answer (when he's back in office).

Sounds reasonable.

Main difference is in some wic modules being on a different location.
You should find them using grep -R. Also, the "logger" was introduced after
Morty, so that the original "msger" was discarded. You should find that
in the commit logs of poky. The rest should only be some messing around with paths and variables...

We have internal source plugins used with the public meta-iot2000 that is built with morty,
that may be of help. Unfortunately I don't have access because I am sick at home.
