199 * Convert to source format 3.0 (quilt). Developers, note that patches are

207 lots of OS-specific code to iterate over all possible devices, we use it
208 in a number of scripts to discover devices and reimplementing those in
209 terms of something else would be very complicated.

212 * Build-depend on gcc-4.6-multilib on kfreebsd-i386 and hurd-i386 as well
213 as the other i386 architectures, since we need it to build efiemu32.o
215 * Add per-platform *-dbg packages containing files needed to use GRUB's

638 * Set PACKAGE_VERSION and PACKAGE_STRING using configure arguments rather
639 than sedding configure.ac in debian/rules (which sometimes has annoying
640 interactions with quilt, etc.).
641 * Update branch_embed-sectors.patch:
642 - Detect sector used by HighPoint RAID controller (closes: #394868).
643 * Add debian/README.source (from quilt).
644 * Make debian/rules more explicit about when autogen.sh is run. We need
645 to be careful that all full builds run it, since we use GRUB extras.
647 - Handle filesystems loop-mounted on file images.
648 - On Wubi, don't ask for an install device, but just update wubildr
649 using the diverted grub-install.
650 - Add grub-mount-udeb, containing just grub-mount. This can be used by
651 os-prober and other parts of d-i.
652 - Artificially bump Replaces: grub-common versioning to account for
653 grub-reboot/grub-set-default movement in Ubuntu.
654 * Don't do a separate build pass for grub-common. It will be identical to
655 the build for the default platform for the CPU architecture anyway, so
657 * Build with GCC 4.5 on all architectures.
658 * Update Lintian overrides for changes in Lintian 2.5.0~rc1.
659 * Invert how files are split among binary packages: rather than code in
660 debian/rules to remove files we don't want, add dh_install configuration
661 to declare the files we do want. This means a little more repetition
662 for platform-specific programs, but it seems less confusing and easier
664 * Drop versioned dependencies on base-files. GPL-3 has been there for two
665 Debian releases now, and the dependency was never upgrade-critical
667 * Create grub2-common package containing files that are common among GRUB
668 platform packages but that would break GRUB Legacy, or that are too
669 confusing when coinstalled with GRUB Legacy (closes: #564167).
670 * Drop conflict on an ancient (pre-lenny/hardy) version of desktop-base.
671 * Move /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme to grub-common, to go with the other
673 * Drop redundant Suggests: os-prober from several platform packages, as
674 grub-common already Recommends: os-prober.
675 * Create grub-<platform>-bin packages corresponding to all grub-<platform>
676 packages (except for grub-emu). These do not automatically install the
677 boot loader or update grub.cfg, and they install their binaries to
678 /usr/lib/grub/<cpu>-<platform>/; this means that they can be installed
679 in parallel, making it easier to use them to build GRUB-based disk
680 images (e.g. d-i). The grub-<platform> packages now depend on these and
681 include symlinks, so their behaviour will remain as before.
682 * Make grub-emu depend on grub-common.
683 * Make the documentation directory in most binary packages be a symlink to
685 * Drop lenny compatibility from grub2-common's dpkg/install-info
686 dependency, since it produces a Lintian warning and using the current
687 packaging on lenny is probably rather a stretch anyway.

1030 * New Bazaar snapshot. Too many changes to list in full, but some of the

1033 + Function parameters, "break", "continue", "shift", "setparams",
1035 + "export" command supports multiple variable names.
1036 + Multi-line quoted strings support.
1037 + Wildcard expansion.
1039 - USB hotunplugging and USB serial support.
1040 - Rename CD-ROM to cd on BIOS.
1041 - Add new --boot-directory option to grub-install, grub-reboot, and
1042 grub-set-default; the old --root-directory option is still accepted
1043 but was often confusing.
1044 - Basic btrfs detection/UUID support (but no file reading yet).
1045 - bash-completion for utilities.
1046 - If a device is listed in device.map, always assume that it is
1047 BIOS-visible rather than using extra layers such as LVM or RAID.
1048 - Add grub-mknetdir script (closes: #550658).
1049 - Remove deprecated "root" command.
1050 - Handle RAID devices containing virtio components.
1051 - GRUB Legacy configuration file support (via grub-menulst2cfg).

1053 - Check generated grub.cfg for syntax errors before saving.
1054 - Pause execution for at most ten seconds if any errors are displayed,
1055 so that the user has a chance to see them.
1057 - Write embedding zone using Reed-Solomon, so that it's robust against
1058 being partially overwritten (closes: #550702, #591416, #593347).
1059 - GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_RECOVERY and GRUB_DISABLE_NETBSD_RECOVERY merged
1060 into a single GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY variable.
1061 - Fix loader memory allocation failure (closes: #551627).

1478 * Update Homepage field (thanks, Sedat Dilek).
1479 * On Linux, if /boot/grub/device.map exists on upgrade to this version,
1480 regenerate it to use stable device names in /dev/disk/by-id/. If it had
1481 more than one entry, then display a critical-priority debconf note
1482 (sorry, but it's better than silently breaking boot menu entries)
1483 advising people to check custom boot menu entries and update them if
1484 necessary (closes: #583271).
1485 * Use 'set -e' rather than '#! /bin/sh -e' or '#! /bin/bash -e', to avoid
1486 accidents when debugging with 'sh -x'.
1487 * Store grub-pc/install_devices as persistent device names under
1488 /dev/disk/by-id/ (closes: #554790). Migrate previous device names to
1489 that, with explicit confirmation in non-trivial cases to make sure we
1490 got the right ones. If the devices we were told to install to ever go
1491 away, ask again. (This is based on the implementation in Ubuntu.)
1492 * If grub-install fails during upgrade-from-grub-legacy, allow the user to
1493 try again with a different device, but failing that cancel the upgrade
1495 * Remove numbering from patch files. The order is now explicit in a quilt
1496 series file, and renumbering from time to time is tedious.

1518 disregard the fact that /boot/grub/stage2 and /boot/grub/menu.lst still
1519 exist (closes: #550477).
1520 * Touch a marker file when grub-install is run but GRUB Legacy files are
1521 still around. If that marker file is present, pretend that GRUB Legacy
1522 files are missing when upgrading.
1523 * If GRUB Legacy files are present when upgrading, scan boot sectors of
1524 all disks for GRUB 2. If we find GRUB 2 installed anywhere, then ask
1525 the user if they want to finish conversion to GRUB 2, and warn them that
1526 not doing so may render the system unbootable (closes: #586143). Thanks
1527 to Sedat Dilek for helping to narrow down this bug.
1528 * Leaving grub-pc/install_devices empty makes sense in some situations,
1529 but more often than not is a mistake. On the other hand, automatically
1530 selecting all disk devices would upset some people too. Compromise by
1531 simply asking for explicit confirmation if grub-pc/install_devices is

1597 trying to probe it (closes: #567211).
1598 - Several 'info grub' improvements, including a new section on
1599 configuration file generation using grub-mkconfig which documents the
1600 available keys in /etc/default/grub (closes: #497085).
1604 * Reorganise configure and build targets in debian/rules to use stamp
1605 files. configure/* never existed and build/* was always a directory, so
1606 make never considered either of them up to date (closes: #450505).
1607 * Remove config.h.in from AUTOGEN_FILES, since autoheader doesn't
1608 necessarily update it.
1609 * Remove conf/gcry.mk from AUTOGEN_FILES, and conf/gcry.rmk from their
1610 dependencies. autogen.sh runs util/import_gcry.py after autoconf et al,
1611 so conf/gcry.rmk's timestamp will be later than some of the
1612 autogenerated outputs.
1613 * Go back to shipping rescue images in the grub-rescue-pc .deb itself
1614 rather than generating them in the postinst. This means that (a) they
1615 get removed when the package is removed (closes: #584176); (b) they are
1616 listed in package metadata, as is proper for files in /usr (closes:
1617 #584218); (c) grub-rescue-pc can potentially be used as a
1618 build-dependency for other packages that need to build GRUB images into
1619 installation media etc., without having to build-depend on grub-pc which
1620 isn't coinstallable with other platform variants and does invasive
1621 things in its postinst.
1622 * Add grub-mkrescue patch from Thomas Schmitt to allow reducing the size
1623 of xorriso-created images. Use this to ensure that
