From d81a617525d3503e055442076b1dcf7a5d99cafe Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: teoberi Date: Tue, 1 Oct 2024 12:29:29 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] Update tests_boot_services -> (E)LILO warning Adding "discontinued" warning for LILO/ELILO. As of January 2016, LILO is no longer actively developed. ELILO project is orphaned, Debian dropped it in 2014, and RH & SUSE stopped using this tree (and feeding back change) long before that so no longer interested in working on it. Apart from Slackware, which still has packages for LILO and ELILO, I don't know if anyone else uses them, and anyway, Slackware has an active and well-configured package for GRUB. --- include/tests_boot_services | 2 ++ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+) diff --git a/include/tests_boot_services b/include/tests_boot_services index 967b98a6..fc9d2002 100644 --- a/include/tests_boot_services +++ b/include/tests_boot_services @@ -484,6 +484,7 @@ else LogText "Result: can not read ${LILOCONFFILE} (no permission)" fi + ReportWarning "${TEST_NO}" "LILO is discontinued (unmaintained).
