[arch-dev-public] [signoff] syslinux 4.03-3
This package is intended for core and includes: 1) a default configuration file 2) an automatic update/install script for syslinux. If you want to take advantage of the auto-update, either use /usr/sbin/syslinux-install_update for installing syslinux, or run 'touch /boot/syslinux/SYSLINUX_AUTOUPDATE'. In both cases, post_upgrade will update your syslinux installation after update. Please sign off.

Forgot to mention: Kudos to Matthew Gyurgyik for making this happen.

That looks like a quite complex addition from our side. Maybe it's worth to check if it can be pushed upstream. Otherwise I wonder if we really should add such helper scripts at all. No offense though, you probably have some good reasons to do so which I don't see atm. Greetings, Pierre -- Pierre Schmitz, https://users.archlinux.de/~pierre

The motivation was syslinux support in AIF. Instead of putting this into AIF, we put it into syslinux instead, to make it available to a wider range of users.

AFAIK the script is not Arch-specific so trying to get it into upstream seems like a very good idea. Dieter

Matthew even said something about that, I don't remember where it went.
