Add a systemd service unit to trigger an adoption and update on every boot. Note that the service is intentionally not enabled by default as it should be up to the distribution to add a systemd preset if auto-update for the bootloader is desired. This unit does not come with any specific restrictions (i.e. EFI or BIOS only). For an assesment of the safety of updates as performed by bootupd, see coreos#454. Distributiuons should also apply the restrictions (i.e. EFI or BIOS only for example) as needed as unit files overrides. Notably, Fedora CoreOS can not yet enable automatic updates until we get support for the multiple EFI partitions for RAID setups. See: coreos/fedora-coreos-tracker#1468 See: coreos/fedora-coreos-config#3042 Initial version from: coreos#716 Fixes: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2332868

Untested yet (but it's a copy paste & update from the previous PR). |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
One hesitation I have is that in the medium term I think we want bootupd integrated more with the OS update tool by default.
But yes, this is clearly better than having it external.

This folder is already in Cargo.toml (leftover from our previous units) so let's re-use that instead of including the contrib folder that has the specfile in it as well. Fixes: coreos#803

packaging: Add systemd unit to trigger updates on boot
Add a systemd service unit to trigger an adoption and update on every
boot.
Note that the service is intentionally not enabled by default as it
should be up to the distribution to add a systemd preset if auto-update
for the bootloader is desired.
This unit does not come with any specific restrictions (i.e. EFI or BIOS
only). For an assesment of the safety of updates as performed by
bootupd, see #454.
Distributiuons should also apply the restrictions (i.e. EFI or BIOS only
for example) as needed as unit files overrides.
Notably, Fedora CoreOS can not yet enable automatic updates until we get
support for the multiple EFI partitions for RAID setups.

Initial version from: #716
