1147 * Adjust debian/watch to point to xz-compressed tarballs.
1148 * debian/grub.d/05_debian_theme: Source grub-mkconfig_lib from
1149 /usr/share/grub, not the /usr/lib/grub compatibility link.
1150 * Convert to source format 3.0 (quilt). Developers, note that patches are
1151 stored applied in bzr; you may want to 'quilt pop -a' / 'quilt push -a'
1153 * Remove pointless debian/grub-mount-udeb.install.hurd-i386;
1154 grub-mount-udeb is not built on the Hurd.
1155 * Refactor debian/grub-common.install.hurd-i386 into .in files so that it
1156 imposes less of a maintenance burden.
1157 * Restore grub-mkdevicemap for now. While it's kind of a mess, requiring
1158 lots of OS-specific code to iterate over all possible devices, we use it
1159 in a number of scripts to discover devices and reimplementing those in
1160 terms of something else would be very complicated.
1161 * Add grub-efi-ia64-bin and grub-efi-ia64 packages. These are currently
1162 experimental, and grub-efi-ia64 does not automatically run grub-install.
1163 * Build-depend on gcc-4.6-multilib on kfreebsd-i386 and hurd-i386 as well
1164 as the other i386 architectures, since we need it to build efiemu32.o
1166 * Add per-platform *-dbg packages containing files needed to use GRUB's
1167 GDB stub. These are relatively large and thus worth splitting out.

1591 * Drop extra word in French debconf translation. Thanks to David

1597 * Set PACKAGE_VERSION and PACKAGE_STRING using configure arguments rather
1598 than sedding configure.ac in debian/rules (which sometimes has annoying
1599 interactions with quilt, etc.).
1600 * Update branch_embed-sectors.patch:
1601 - Detect sector used by HighPoint RAID controller (closes: #394868).
1602 * Add debian/README.source (from quilt).
1603 * Make debian/rules more explicit about when autogen.sh is run. We need
1604 to be careful that all full builds run it, since we use GRUB extras.
1605 * Merge from Ubuntu:
1606 - Handle filesystems loop-mounted on file images.
1607 - On Wubi, don't ask for an install device, but just update wubildr
1608 using the diverted grub-install.
1609 - Add grub-mount-udeb, containing just grub-mount. This can be used by
1610 os-prober and other parts of d-i.
1611 - Artificially bump Replaces: grub-common versioning to account for
1612 grub-reboot/grub-set-default movement in Ubuntu.
1613 * Don't do a separate build pass for grub-common. It will be identical to
1614 the build for the default platform for the CPU architecture anyway, so
1616 * Build with GCC 4.5 on all architectures.
1617 * Update Lintian overrides for changes in Lintian 2.5.0~rc1.
1618 * Invert how files are split among binary packages: rather than code in
1619 debian/rules to remove files we don't want, add dh_install configuration
1620 to declare the files we do want. This means a little more repetition
1621 for platform-specific programs, but it seems less confusing and easier
1623 * Drop versioned dependencies on base-files. GPL-3 has been there for two
1624 Debian releases now, and the dependency was never upgrade-critical
1626 * Create grub2-common package containing files that are common among GRUB
1627 platform packages but that would break GRUB Legacy, or that are too
1628 confusing when coinstalled with GRUB Legacy (closes: #564167).
1629 * Drop conflict on an ancient (pre-lenny/hardy) version of desktop-base.
1630 * Move /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme to grub-common, to go with the other
1631 /etc/grub.d/* files.
1632 * Drop redundant Suggests: os-prober from several platform packages, as
1633 grub-common already Recommends: os-prober.
1634 * Create grub-<platform>-bin packages corresponding to all grub-<platform>
1635 packages (except for grub-emu). These do not automatically install the
1636 boot loader or update grub.cfg, and they install their binaries to
1637 /usr/lib/grub/<cpu>-<platform>/; this means that they can be installed
1638 in parallel, making it easier to use them to build GRUB-based disk
1639 images (e.g. d-i). The grub-<platform> packages now depend on these and
1640 include symlinks, so their behaviour will remain as before.
1641 * Make grub-emu depend on grub-common.
1642 * Make the documentation directory in most binary packages be a symlink to
1643 that in grub-common.
1644 * Drop lenny compatibility from grub2-common's dpkg/install-info
1645 dependency, since it produces a Lintian warning and using the current
1646 packaging on lenny is probably rather a stretch anyway.

2433 * Remove qemu-system build-dependency on hurd-i386, where it doesn't seem
2434 to exist. Disable tests if qemu-system-i386 isn't available.
2435 * Mark "upgrade-from-grub-legacy" paragraph in
2436 grub-pc/chainload_from_menu.lst as untranslatable.
2437 * Update Homepage field (thanks, Sedat Dilek).
2438 * On Linux, if /boot/grub/device.map exists on upgrade to this version,
2439 regenerate it to use stable device names in /dev/disk/by-id/. If it had
2440 more than one entry, then display a critical-priority debconf note
2441 (sorry, but it's better than silently breaking boot menu entries)
2442 advising people to check custom boot menu entries and update them if
2443 necessary (closes: #583271).
2444 * Use 'set -e' rather than '#! /bin/sh -e' or '#! /bin/bash -e', to avoid
2445 accidents when debugging with 'sh -x'.
2446 * Store grub-pc/install_devices as persistent device names under
2447 /dev/disk/by-id/ (closes: #554790). Migrate previous device names to
2448 that, with explicit confirmation in non-trivial cases to make sure we
2449 got the right ones. If the devices we were told to install to ever go
2450 away, ask again. (This is based on the implementation in Ubuntu.)
2451 * If grub-install fails during upgrade-from-grub-legacy, allow the user to
2452 try again with a different device, but failing that cancel the upgrade
2454 * Remove numbering from patch files. The order is now explicit in a quilt
2455 series file, and renumbering from time to time is tedious.

2480 still around. If that marker file is present, pretend that GRUB Legacy
2481 files are missing when upgrading.
2482 * If GRUB Legacy files are present when upgrading, scan boot sectors of
2483 all disks for GRUB 2. If we find GRUB 2 installed anywhere, then ask
2484 the user if they want to finish conversion to GRUB 2, and warn them that

2486 to Sedat Dilek for helping to narrow down this bug.

2489 selecting all disk devices would upset some people too. Compromise by
2490 simply asking for explicit confirmation if grub-pc/install_devices is

2556 trying to probe it (closes: #567211).
2557 - Several 'info grub' improvements, including a new section on
2558 configuration file generation using grub-mkconfig which documents the
2559 available keys in /etc/default/grub (closes: #497085).
2563 * Reorganise configure and build targets in debian/rules to use stamp
2564 files. configure/* never existed and build/* was always a directory, so
2565 make never considered either of them up to date (closes: #450505).
2566 * Remove config.h.in from AUTOGEN_FILES, since autoheader doesn't
2567 necessarily update it.
2568 * Remove conf/gcry.mk from AUTOGEN_FILES, and conf/gcry.rmk from their
2569 dependencies. autogen.sh runs util/import_gcry.py after autoconf et al,
2570 so conf/gcry.rmk's timestamp will be later than some of the
2571 autogenerated outputs.
2572 * Go back to shipping rescue images in the grub-rescue-pc .deb itself
2573 rather than generating them in the postinst. This means that (a) they
2574 get removed when the package is removed (closes: #584176); (b) they are
2575 listed in package metadata, as is proper for files in /usr (closes:
2576 #584218); (c) grub-rescue-pc can potentially be used as a
2577 build-dependency for other packages that need to build GRUB images into
2578 installation media etc., without having to build-depend on grub-pc which
2579 isn't coinstallable with other platform variants and does invasive
