[Bug 1512510] Re: [SRU] [HWE] Backport gnu-efi 3.0.2 to 15.04

[Steve Langasek]

Hello Mathieu, or anyone else affected,

Accepted gnu-efi into vivid-proposed. The package will build now and be
available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnu-
efi/3.0.2-1ubuntu1~15.04.1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed
repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to
enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this update
out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag
from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the
bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to
verification-failed.  In either case, details of your testing will help
us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance!

Title:
  [SRU] [HWE] Backport gnu-efi 3.0.2 to 15.04

Status in gnu-efi package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  Shipping fwupdate in 15.04 (hardware enablement tool; a firmware updater tool) requires the use of gnu-efi >= 3.0.2.

  [Test Case]
  1) Attempt to build fwupdate in 15.04.
     Without gnu-efi >= 3.0.2, the build will fail to complete.
  2) build shim and sbsigntool in 15.04.
  3) verify that shim and sbsigntool run correctly when rebuilt against gnu-efi 3.0.2.

  [Regression Potential]
  Limited to EFI installations. Issues in efivar may incur specific failures at handling EFI variables; or when trying to build EFI images (which may show as unexpected behavior in these images).

  However, gnu-efi 3.0.2 is already shipping in 15.10 and has not been
  causing issues.
