This repository is used when building shim. I would like to work on shim for RISC-V but this requires updating this repository first.

The upstream repository https://git.code.sf.net/p/gnu-efi/code gnu-efi-code contains all required patches. The rhboot repository contains no patches missing in upstream.

Please, merge upstream master: https://git.code.sf.net/p/gnu-efi/code.

I can see it's been quite a while since this issue was addressed. The same when it comes to the pull request mentioned.

By scratching the surface of the current HEAD, I can see some references to RISC-V. Is there's a demand for shim 15.5 specifically rather than more recent versions (15.7 as of today)?

In other words: what's the status? Are we waiting for Red Hat Booloader Team to port the support for the gnu-efi branch used for shim 15.5 or can the issue and the pull request be closed?

@aronowski The RISC-V market is developing and we will see server boards hitting the market this year. So thinking about secure boot for RISC-V makes sense. Unfortunately in 2021 there was not review activity by the shim maintainer.

There is no specific need for shim 15.5 to support RISC-V. We should work on the development tree. But this requires that there is someone willing to review patches.
