[bug#31997] [PATCH] gnu: linux-libre*: Add Keyed Interface and redefine variants to use new Interface.

[Joshua Hayes (ProfessorDey)]

Hey there,
It's been 2 years since I submitted this issue, but to my knowledge this is still a limitation of guixsd and the approach is still a valid solution, you'd just need to define any additional explicitly hardcoded kernel varients that have been added since I first wrote it, it's a simple enough interface to build in quickly and allows a lot more flexibility. Admittedly I haven't used guixsd in a long while personally due to this exact limitation, so I don't have a development machine readily to hand for my own testing, but can look into converting my old laptop over once I back it up.

Hope this is helpful at least,
Best Regards
Joshua

 * gnu/packages/linux.scm (linux-libre): Add Keyed Interface
 * gnu/packages/linux.scm (linux-libre-*): Redefine to use Interface

I am in favor to try to apply it and merge it if it is still relevant,
otherwise I will close it after the usual 3 weeks delay.


All the best,
simon
