Re: [bitfolk] Keep an eye on your CentOS Stream 8 grub.cfg for "blscfg" being introduced

Hi Andy, all, TBH the whole package system - especially with everything having a script and trigger - is a mystery. I went directly from version 106 to version 123 on grub2-*. EDIT: I've just restored the previous /etc/default/grub from tape, turns out that the ENABLE_BLSCFG has been there since at least November 2021 when I last updated! Using Post-Transaction-Actions [1], I have scripted me a reset every time yum is run. Note that it does NOT rerun grub2-mkconfig if the flag was seen to have been 'True'. yum -y install python3-dnf-plugin-post-transaction-actions.noarch cat > /usr/local/sbin/blscheck.sh <<_"FILE" #!/bin/bash if [ -f /etc/default/grub ] ; then grep GRUB_ENABLE_BLSCFG /etc/default/grub && sed -i.bak -e 's/GRUB_ENABLE_BLSCFG=true/GRUB_ENABLE_BLSCFG=false/' /etc/default/grub; fi _FILE chmod +x /usr/local/sbin/blscheck.sh cat > /etc/dnf/plugins/post-transaction-actions.d/bls.action <<_"FILE" # Reset BLS for Bitfolk machines whenever a grub or kernel trigger occurs # grub2-*:in:/usr/local/sbin/blscheck.sh kernel-*:in:/usr/local/sbin/blscheck.sh _FILE #tested using command: #dnf install kernel-rpm-macros.noarch #message: #post-transaction-actions: GRUB_ENABLE_BLSCFG=false Thanks Jamie [1] https://blog.bensoer.com/how-to-create-post-install-hooks-with-yum/ ------ Original Message ------ To users(a)lists.bitfolk.com Date 11/06/2022 23:44:14 Subject Re: [bitfolk] Keep an eye on your CentOS Stream 8 grub.cfg for "blscfg" being introduced
