FWIW, I would still appreciate updates to this package even if it no longer fits on the 512MB default /boot. I use a 2GB /boot primarily for multiple kernels, but also for things like this.

Well now it happened, version 2022.11 grew another 90MB and doesn't fit into a 512MB /boot next to a minimal systemd-boot. Not sure if I should update this package.

Not sure what you mean by it doesn't fit. My /boot is 512MB, with currently (2020.06) 294M sized grml64-small.squashfs. For 2021.07, this file grew to 340M, which should still fit.

What's the recommended EFI System Partition size for this? It doesn't fit on 512MiB, which is my current go to as default. What'd be a appropriate size for future proofing? 4GiB?

@ahmubashshir can you expand? Or perhaps PR against https://github.com/nickray/aur-packages/tree/main/grml-systemd-boot if that's easier/clearer.

@thiagowfx my packaging is optimized for minimal effort on my part, which I revisit only to decrease the effort further (https://xkcd.com/1319/); I trust the 213B added by the Makefile isn't an actual dealbreaker :)

You can do a split package that'll load grml to ram with toram=grml64-small.squashfs grml.conf

Your package looks good. I added a link from the relevant wiki page to it for discoverability.

I find it's a bit odd you include a Makefile with each and every one of your PKGBUILDs though. The PKGBUILD itself is like a "makefile", there should be no need to ship a Makefile along with every PKGBUILD.

I'd strongly suggest to remove them to make your packages cleaner. You could have a single, separate, package-agnostic Makefile for all of your packages (make PACKAGE=foo) instead. Just my 2 cents.
