Re: [edk2-devel] libspdm Breaking Builds

Thanks Michael,

After working around some weird rate-limiting from GitHub, I was finally 
able to apply your suggested workaround, and can validate that it indeed 
works: 
https://github.com/pbatard/UEFI-Shell/actions/runs/9293562444/job/25576978957

Still, I would assert that many people trying to use EDK2 as a submodule 
dependency in automated workflow will want to avoid having juggling with 
workarounds, so the sooner the breaking dependency is changed in EDK2, 
the better.

Regards,

/Pete
