Arch Linux User Repository

Thanks for adopting this!

Note my comment of 2025-12-14 that subhook needs be updated to point to edk2-subhook still stands. Also, in the interim, another two changes to the submodule list have been needed -- the submodule TPM needs to be added, and softfloat needs to be removed, see https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/commit/507c956316e63e53738b484a9a08b73e119fcd73 https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/commit/6f0e977165cfd5dc3bb29d64ecad49d9f43153a9

To avoid missing these changes, I've locally added the following lines to _prepare_tianocore_sources():

# update as necessary
sum=################################################################
msg "Checking ${_TIANO_DIR_}/.gitmodules is in expected state..."
if ! sha256sum -c <<< "$sum  .gitmodules"; then
    msg "${_TIANO_DIR_}/.gitmodules has been modified!"
    msg 'Please update submodule list first.'
    exit 1
fi

Several submodules have been added, and some have had their url changed:

Only figured this out because I was wondering why the mbedtls clone kept being buggy.

find: cannot delete ‘./CryptoPkg/Library/MbedTlsLib/mbedtls/ChangeLog.d’: Directory not empty

Fixed by adding -type f to the find -delete invocation

Missed this error, so I don't know since when it started

==> Extracting sources...
  -> Creating working copy of edk2 git repo...
fatal: bad object refs/remotes/origin/dependabot/github_actions/actions/upload-artifact-4
error: /home/gesh/.local/var/cache/pacman/sources/edk2 did not send all necessary objects

Any idea what might be wrong?

UPDATE: For some reason, after nuking the pacman cache several times, this suddenly worked. No idea what changed, perhaps an upstream difference.

Thanks for reporting that @Gadgethm. I have pushed a fix for that now which seems to be in line with what other projects & Arch packages have adopted. It's working okay to update it for me but please let me know if you get any further issues.

This package no longer builds for me (and hasn't for a while). I get the following error when cloning certain submodules:

fatal: transport 'file' not allowed

I believe this may be related to this bug: https://vielmetti.typepad.com/logbook/2022/10/git-security-fixes-lead-to-fatal-transport-file-not-allowed-error-in-ci-systems-cve-2022-39253.html

Thanks for the patch gesh - I agree it makes sense to always have the consistent format.
