This patch is adding the fwupd wrapper for Qubes. The wrapper provides fwupd functionalities for Qubes R4.1. It creates three packages (two RPMs and one Debian package): fwupd-qubes-dom0 (RPM) fwupd-qubes-vm (RPM) fwupd-qubes-vm-whonix (deb) More information about the wrapper could be found in the contrib/qubes/README.md Signed-off-by: Norbert Kamiński <norbert.kaminski@3mdeb.com>

# UEFI capsule update
|
|
|
|
The qubes-fwupd handle the UEFI capsule update under several conditions.
|
|
The fwupd uses ESRT tables to read GUID, and that causes trouble when the OS
|
|
is running under a hypervisor. The Xen does not pass the ESRT tables to
|
|
paravirtualized dom0, so the Qubes is not able to provide sysfs information.
|
