- Parent task deleted (

This won’t be done in time for 1.1, dropping the parent task. The 2.0 milestone was inherited from Feature #5739, not sure if it’s still relevant.

- Status changed from Confirmed to In Progress
The feature/6397-stop-relying-on-the-removable-bit branch has a recent syslinux backport and the needed bits to cope with changes in the packaging. That could be extracted in a branch that’s only about upgrading syslinux.

Feature #7231: Test suite: UEFI boot added

- Subject changed from Upgrade to syslinux 6.03-pre5 or later to Upgrade to syslinux 6.03-pre18 or later
6.03-pre5 might be enough to fix Bug #7232, but for other purposes (e.g. Feature #7231) we need 6.03-pre18. The latter anyway brings tons of bugfixes.

#17 Updated by intrigeri 2014-07-27 23:02:28
- Target version changed from Sustainability_M1 to Tails_1.2
Project-wise, it’s a 2.0 goal, as part of the UEFI support one. But I’d like to see this included in 1.2.

The test results show some improvements, and no regression, which validates this upgrade.

Updated the branch to syslinux 3:6.03~pre20+dfsg-2~bpo70+1 (and merged into experimental). Seems to work fine, at least in QEMU, both in BIOS and UEFI mode.
