Labels: enhancement, documentation, fixed / solved / done

Wouldn't be ncie to have in SLES_LINUX.conf an example for SECURE_BOOT_BOOTLOADER?

That is:

$ cat /usr/share/rear/conf/SUSE_LINUX.conf 
# some scripts need this
COPY_AS_IS+=( /etc/sysconfig/network/config /etc/sysconfig/network/scripts/functions )

# uncomment for Secure Boot
# SECURE_BOOT_BOOTLOADER="/usr/lib64/efi/shim-sles.efi"

/usr/lib64/efi/shim-sles.efi is in fact symlink to ../../share/efi/x86_64/shim-sles.efi.

Some details at: https://github.com/SUSE/doc-sleha/pull/404#issuecomment-2263007490

The ReaR scripts in usr/share/rear
are not meant as user config files so
usr/share/rear/conf/SUSE_LINUX.conf
is not the right place for user config settings.

We have example user config files in
usr/share/rear/conf/examples/

What matches most from the file name is
usr/share/rear/conf/examples/SLE11-SLE12-SAP-HANA-UEFI-example.conf
which is the only one with UEFI in the file name.

Probably setting SECURE_BOOT_BOOTLOADER is no longer
required with current ReaR upstream master code, see
https://github.com/rear/rear/pull/3306#discussion_r1735815475
so this issue is perhaps meanwhile obsolete.

@jirib Are you satisfied with above replies and updates in the example configs?

With
https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/3276
plus
https://github.com/rear/rear/pull/3306
plus the updated SUSE documentation for SLE HA15 SP6
https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/3084#issuecomment-2330953577
this issue should be sufficiently fixed.
