I looked in the Clover FAQ's and couldn't find the answer, so I ask here...
What is the preferred way to add kexts to a fully functional Clover-based install?
#1 using the stock .pkg iinstaller OR
#2 using Pacifist (or the like) to extract the kexts to /EFI/EFI/Clover/kexts/10.x/ and then rebuiliding w/ KextUtility
While I understand that one can (and probably someone will actually ...) answer "whichever one works", I'm looking for something a bit deeper, relating back to the way that Clover actually works, or is intended to work.
FWIW, I used #2 to install HWSensors on my HackPro at home, #1 to install HWSensors on my HackPro at my office. Both work...
I was also wondering if KextUtility even sees what is in /EFI/EFI/Clover/kexts/ ...
Definitely the vanilla-install part of me likes the #2 method a bit more, for "hackintosh kexts", but #1 would make more sense for any standard kexts, I guess.
