It's efivar 0.18! (Did I not make a 0.16 or 0.17? Then I didn't make a 0.16 or 0.17).
This release is mostly about adding the efidp and libefiboot APIs available. Next release will feature documentation for them, verification that various different device path types work, etc. Right now efi device path generation is basically limited to:
- full file paths on sata devices
- full file paths on sas devices
- HD() paths for SATA and SAS devices
- ipv4 dhcp device paths that don't specify their own filenames
These should all work on machines that have ACPI PCI root devices, either real systems or using virtio.
If anything else works, that's great, but it's also just luck.
As always, I recommend using the .tar.bz2 instead of the other downloads which are automatically generated by github.
