20 - Remove "GNU/Linux" from default distributor string for Ubuntu.
21 - Apply Ubuntu GRUB Legacy changes to legacy update-grub script.
22 - Apply patch from Fedora to add a "linuxefi" loader which boots kernels
23 with EFI handover patches, avoiding ExitBootServices.
24 - Temporarily make linuxefi refuse to validate kernels in the absence of
25 a shim, until we get some other details worked out.
26 - Automatically call linuxefi from linux if secure boot is enabled and
27 the kernel is signed, to hand over to the kernel without calling
28 ExitBootServices. Otherwise, linux will fall through to previous
29 code, call ExitBootServices itself, and boot the kernel normally.
30 - Generate configuration for signed UEFI kernels if available.
31 - On Ubuntu amd64, add a raw-uefi custom upload tarball for signing.

233 * debian/grub.d/05_debian_theme: Source grub-mkconfig_lib from
234 /usr/share/grub, not the /usr/lib/grub compatibility link.
235 * Convert to source format 3.0 (quilt). Developers, note that patches are
236 stored applied in bzr; you may want to 'quilt pop -a' / 'quilt push -a'

239 grub-mount-udeb is not built on the Hurd.
240 * Refactor debian/grub-common.install.hurd-i386 into .in files so that it
241 imposes less of a maintenance burden.

243 lots of OS-specific code to iterate over all possible devices, we use it
244 in a number of scripts to discover devices and reimplementing those in
245 terms of something else would be very complicated.
246 * Add grub-efi-ia64-bin and grub-efi-ia64 packages. These are currently
247 experimental, and grub-efi-ia64 does not automatically run grub-install.
248 * Build-depend on gcc-4.6-multilib on kfreebsd-i386 and hurd-i386 as well
249 as the other i386 architectures, since we need it to build efiemu32.o
251 * Add per-platform *-dbg packages containing files needed to use GRUB's
252 GDB stub. These are relatively large and thus worth splitting out.

679 * Add debian/README.source (from quilt).
680 * Make debian/rules more explicit about when autogen.sh is run. We need
681 to be careful that all full builds run it, since we use GRUB extras.
683 - Handle filesystems loop-mounted on file images.
684 - On Wubi, don't ask for an install device, but just update wubildr
685 using the diverted grub-install.

690 * Don't do a separate build pass for grub-common. It will be identical to
691 the build for the default platform for the CPU architecture anyway, so
693 * Build with GCC 4.5 on all architectures.
694 * Update Lintian overrides for changes in Lintian 2.5.0~rc1.
695 * Invert how files are split among binary packages: rather than code in
696 debian/rules to remove files we don't want, add dh_install configuration
697 to declare the files we do want. This means a little more repetition
698 for platform-specific programs, but it seems less confusing and easier
700 * Drop versioned dependencies on base-files. GPL-3 has been there for two
701 Debian releases now, and the dependency was never upgrade-critical
703 * Create grub2-common package containing files that are common among GRUB
704 platform packages but that would break GRUB Legacy, or that are too
705 confusing when coinstalled with GRUB Legacy (closes: #564167).
706 * Drop conflict on an ancient (pre-lenny/hardy) version of desktop-base.
707 * Move /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme to grub-common, to go with the other
709 * Drop redundant Suggests: os-prober from several platform packages, as
710 grub-common already Recommends: os-prober.
711 * Create grub-<platform>-bin packages corresponding to all grub-<platform>
712 packages (except for grub-emu). These do not automatically install the
713 boot loader or update grub.cfg, and they install their binaries to
714 /usr/lib/grub/<cpu>-<platform>/; this means that they can be installed
715 in parallel, making it easier to use them to build GRUB-based disk
716 images (e.g. d-i). The grub-<platform> packages now depend on these and
717 include symlinks, so their behaviour will remain as before.
718 * Make grub-emu depend on grub-common.
719 * Make the documentation directory in most binary packages be a symlink to
721 * Drop lenny compatibility from grub2-common's dpkg/install-info
722 dependency, since it produces a Lintian warning and using the current

1091 so that the user has a chance to see them.
1093 - Write embedding zone using Reed-Solomon, so that it's robust against
1094 being partially overwritten (closes: #550702, #591416, #593347).
1095 - GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_RECOVERY and GRUB_DISABLE_NETBSD_RECOVERY merged

1485 grub2 (1.98+20100702-1) unstable; urgency=low
1487 * New Bazaar snapshot.
1488 - Use video functions in Linux loader rather than hardcoding UGA; load
1489 all available video backends (closes: #565576, probably).
1490 - Add support for initrd images on Fedora 13.
1491 - Output grub.cfg stanzas for Xen (closes: #505517).
1492 - Add 'cat --dos' option to treat DOS-style "\r\n" line endings as
1493 simple newlines (closes: #586358).
1494 - Change grub-mkdevicemap to emit /dev/disk/by-id/ names where possible
1496 - Return CF correctly in mmap e820/e801 int15 hook (closes: #584846).
1497 - The info documentation now has no broken references, although of
1498 course it could still use more work (closes: #553460).
1499 - Support GRUB_BADRAM in grub-mkconfig.
1500 - Skip LVM snapshots (closes: #574863).
1503 * Mention grub-rescue-usb.img in grub-rescue-pc description (closes:
1505 * Add instructions for using grub-rescue-usb.img (closes: #586463).
1506 * Remove /usr/lib/grub/mips-* from grub-common rather than the incorrect
1507 /usr/lib/grub/mipsel-*, so that it stops clashing with grub-yeeloong;
1508 add a versioned Replaces to grub-yeeloong just in case (closes:
1510 * Remove qemu-system build-dependency on hurd-i386, where it doesn't seem
1511 to exist. Disable tests if qemu-system-i386 isn't available.
1512 * Mark "upgrade-from-grub-legacy" paragraph in
1513 grub-pc/chainload_from_menu.lst as untranslatable.
1514 * Update Homepage field (thanks, Sedat Dilek).
1515 * On Linux, if /boot/grub/device.map exists on upgrade to this version,
1516 regenerate it to use stable device names in /dev/disk/by-id/. If it had
1517 more than one entry, then display a critical-priority debconf note
1518 (sorry, but it's better than silently breaking boot menu entries)
1519 advising people to check custom boot menu entries and update them if
1520 necessary (closes: #583271).
1521 * Use 'set -e' rather than '#! /bin/sh -e' or '#! /bin/bash -e', to avoid
1522 accidents when debugging with 'sh -x'.
1523 * Store grub-pc/install_devices as persistent device names under
1524 /dev/disk/by-id/ (closes: #554790). Migrate previous device names to
1525 that, with explicit confirmation in non-trivial cases to make sure we
1526 got the right ones. If the devices we were told to install to ever go
1527 away, ask again. (This is based on the implementation in Ubuntu.)
1528 * If grub-install fails during upgrade-from-grub-legacy, allow the user to
1529 try again with a different device, but failing that cancel the upgrade
1531 * Remove numbering from patch files. The order is now explicit in a quilt
1532 series file, and renumbering from time to time is tedious.

1548 grub2 (1.98+20100617-1) unstable; urgency=low
1550 * New Bazaar snapshot.
1551 - Fix i386-pc prefix handling with nested partitions (closes: #585068).
1553 * When running grub-pc.postinst from upgrade-from-grub-legacy, tell it to
1554 disregard the fact that /boot/grub/stage2 and /boot/grub/menu.lst still
1555 exist (closes: #550477).
1556 * Touch a marker file when grub-install is run but GRUB Legacy files are
1557 still around. If that marker file is present, pretend that GRUB Legacy
1558 files are missing when upgrading.
1559 * If GRUB Legacy files are present when upgrading, scan boot sectors of
1560 all disks for GRUB 2. If we find GRUB 2 installed anywhere, then ask
1561 the user if they want to finish conversion to GRUB 2, and warn them that
1562 not doing so may render the system unbootable (closes: #586143). Thanks
1563 to Sedat Dilek for helping to narrow down this bug.
1564 * Leaving grub-pc/install_devices empty makes sense in some situations,
1565 but more often than not is a mistake. On the other hand, automatically
1566 selecting all disk devices would upset some people too. Compromise by
1567 simply asking for explicit confirmation if grub-pc/install_devices is
1568 left empty, defaulting to false so that simply selecting all the
1569 defaults in debconf can't leave you with an unbootable system (closes:

1585 - Make target-related error messages from grub-mkimage slightly more
1586 helpful (closes: #584415).
1587 - Fix underquoting that broke savedefault (thanks, Mario 'BitKoenig'
1588 Holbe; closes: #584812).
1589 - Expand 'info grub' substantially, including a new section on
1590 configuring authentication (closes: #584822).
1591 - Give all manual pages proper NAME sections (closes: #496706).
1593 * Update 915resolution from grub-extras:
1594 - Fix a hang with 945GME (thanks, Sergio Perticone; closes: #582142).
1597 * Disable grub-emu on sparc for the time being. We're currently trying to
1598 use TARGET_* flags to build it, which won't work.
1599 * Don't build-depend on libsdl1.2-dev on hurd-i386. Although
1600 libsdl1.2-dev exists there, it's currently uninstallable due to missing
1601 libpulse-dev, and we can happily live without it for now.
1602 * kfreebsd-amd64 needs gcc-4.4-multilib too (closes: #585668).
1603 * Warn and return without error from prepare_grub_to_access_device if
1604 /boot is a dm-crypt device (thanks, Marc Haber; closes: #542165).
1605 * Make /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme usable by shells other than bash
1606 (thanks, Alex Chiang; closes: #585561).
1607 * Remove grub-mkisofs leftovers from debian/copyright.

1619 * Fix verbose error output when device-mapper isn't supported by the
1620 running kernel (closes: #584196).
1621 * Prepend "part_" to partmap module names in grub-mkconfig, in line with
1622 grub-install (closes: #584426).

1626 grub2 (1.98+20100602-1) unstable; urgency=low
1628 * New Bazaar snapshot.
1629 - Add btrfs probing support, currently only in the single-device case
1631 - Fix grub-emu build on mips/powerpc/sparc.
1632 - Add safety check to make sure that /boot/grub/locale exists before
1633 trying to probe it (closes: #567211).
1634 - Several 'info grub' improvements, including a new section on
1635 configuration file generation using grub-mkconfig which documents the
1636 available keys in /etc/default/grub (closes: #497085).
1640 * Reorganise configure and build targets in debian/rules to use stamp
1641 files. configure/* never existed and build/* was always a directory, so
1642 make never considered either of them up to date (closes: #450505).
1643 * Remove config.h.in from AUTOGEN_FILES, since autoheader doesn't
1644 necessarily update it.
1645 * Remove conf/gcry.mk from AUTOGEN_FILES, and conf/gcry.rmk from their
1646 dependencies. autogen.sh runs util/import_gcry.py after autoconf et al,
1647 so conf/gcry.rmk's timestamp will be later than some of the
1648 autogenerated outputs.
1649 * Go back to shipping rescue images in the grub-rescue-pc .deb itself
1650 rather than generating them in the postinst. This means that (a) they
1651 get removed when the package is removed (closes: #584176); (b) they are
1652 listed in package metadata, as is proper for files in /usr (closes:
1653 #584218); (c) grub-rescue-pc can potentially be used as a
1654 build-dependency for other packages that need to build GRUB images into
1655 installation media etc., without having to build-depend on grub-pc which
1656 isn't coinstallable with other platform variants and does invasive
1657 things in its postinst.
1658 * Add grub-mkrescue patch from Thomas Schmitt to allow reducing the size
1659 of xorriso-created images. Use this to ensure that
1660 grub-rescue-floppy.img fits well within size limits (closes: #548320).

1666 * Always override statically-linked-binary Lintian tag for kernel.img;
1667 dynamic linking makes no sense here.
1668 * kernel.img is stripped upstream where it can be, but override Lintian's
1669 error for the cases where it can't.
1670 * Override binary-from-other-architecture for kernel.img as well as *.mod
1671 when building grub-efi-amd64 on i386.

1678 - Support multiple terminals in grub-mkconfig, e.g.

1680 - Speed up consecutive hostdisk operations on the same device (closes:
1682 - Fix grammar error in grub-setup warning (closes: #559005).
1683 - Use xorriso for image creation rather than embedding a modified copy
1684 of mkisofs (closes: #570156).
1685 - Issue an error rather than segfaulting if only some LVM component
1686 devices are in device.map (closes: #577808).
1687 - Fix typo in make_device_name which caused grub-probe problems on
1688 systems with BSD disk labels (closes: #578201).
1689 - Add DM-RAID probe support (closes: #579919).
1690 - Include all gnumach kernels on Hurd, not just gnumach and gnumach.gz
1694 * Restore TEXTDOMAINDIR correction in grub.d files, lost by mistake in a
1695 merge. Noticed by Anthony Fok.
1696 * Don't fail on purge if the ucf association has already been taken over
1697 by a different grub package (closes: #574176).
1698 * Add debian/grub-extras/*/conf/*.mk to AUTOGEN_FILES.
1699 * Remove support for the lpia architecture, now removed from Ubuntu.
1700 * Conflict with grub (<< 0.97-54) as well as grub-legacy.
1701 * Build-depend on libdevmapper-dev for DM-RAID probe support.
1703 * Suggest xorriso (>= 0.5.6.pl00) in grub-common, since grub-mkrescue now
1704 needs it. Depend on it in grub-rescue-pc.
1705 * Move grub-mkimage to grub-common, now that it only has one
1707 * Clean up temporary files used while building grub-firmware-qemu.
1708 * Make grub-probe work with symlinks under /dev/mapper (closes: #550704).
1709 * When upgrading a system where GRUB 2 is chainloaded from GRUB Legacy and
1710 upgrade-from-grub-legacy has not been run, upgrade the chainloaded image
1711 rather than confusing the user by prompting them where they want to
1712 install GRUB (closes: #546822).
1713 * Build-depend on libsdl1.2-dev for SDL support in grub-emu.
1714 * Don't leak debconf's file descriptor to update-grub, so that the LVM
1715 tools called from os-prober don't complain about it (closes: #549976).
1716 Other leaks are not this package's fault, may not be bugs at all, and in
1717 any case os-prober 1.36 suppresses the warnings.
1718 * Build-depend on flex (>= 2.5.35).
1719 * Build-depend on gcc-4.4-multilib on amd64.

1736 - Fix script execution error handling bug that meant that an error in a

1739 - Support GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX (closes: #536453, LP: #416772).
