The author started using the gnome build system so this package should now use meson instead of python to build and install.

_pkgname=efiboots
pkgname="$_pkgname-git"
pkgver=2.1.0.r16.g49812a3
pkgrel=2
pkgdesc="Manage EFI boot loader entries with this simple GUI"

license=('GPL3')
arch=('any')

makedepends=('git' 'python-setuptools')

md5sums=('SKIP')

pkgver() {
    cd "$srcdir/$_pkgname"
    git describe --long | sed 's/^v//;s/\([^-]*-g\)/r\1/;s/-/./g'
}

build() {
    cd "$srcdir/$_pkgname"
    meson setup --prefix=/usr --buildtype=plain build
    meson compile -C build
}

package() {
    cd "$srcdir/$_pkgname"
    meson install -C build --destdir "$pkgdir"
}

re-installed grub - grub-mkconfig & grub-install - works!

efiboots hosed my efi, Lenovo reverted to default efi. (I wanted to delete old ubuntu and opensuse entries)

Packaging is broken by upstream: the setup does not include all files and the code assumes you're in the same dir as the script.

Here's a fixed PKGBUILD that keeps everything together in /opt/: https://gitlab.com/-/snippets/3693763

Same runtime error. Tried the improved PKGBUILD, but that didn't work either.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/bin/efiboots", line 6, in <module>
    import efiboots
  File "/usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages/efiboots.py", line 9, in <module>

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'efibootmgr'

Hey, experiencing the same issues as the others:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/efiboots", line 6, in <module>
    import efiboots
  File "/usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages/efiboots.py", line 9, in <module>
    from efibootmgr import Efibootmgr
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'efibootmgr'

@dreieck: This already depends on efibootmgr, the issue is on your end. Don't mix system and local Python packages.

@Elinvention:

Improved PKGBUILD

A dependency is missing:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/efiboots", line 6, in <module>
    import efiboots
  File "/usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages/efiboots.py", line 9, in <module>
    from efibootmgr import Efibootmgr
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'efibootmgr'

(efibootmgr does not provide the python package.)

Regards!

Please move away from calling setup.py directly but use python -m build in build() and python -m installer in package(), together with adding the appropriate makedepends. See the Arch Wiki on python packages for details.

Hi, I’m getting a module import error at line 6 in the efiboots.py script :
