1511 there and causes too many problems (LP: #1338471).
1512 * Use nvram rather than nvsetenv on chrp_ibm machines, since that tool is
1513 better-supported and copes with such things as nvram being missing in

1516 postrm to /bin/sh (closes: #762940).
1517 * On ppc64el, look for a PReP partition and install the core image to the
1518 first one if found. For now this is done by borrowing prep-bootdev.c
1519 from grub-installer, incurring a dependency on libparted.

1750 handling more simply than the previous arrangements, and pressing any

2137 * Adjust debian/watch to point to xz-compressed tarballs.
2138 * debian/grub.d/05_debian_theme: Source grub-mkconfig_lib from
2139 /usr/share/grub, not the /usr/lib/grub compatibility link.
2140 * Convert to source format 3.0 (quilt). Developers, note that patches are
2141 stored applied in bzr; you may want to 'quilt pop -a' / 'quilt push -a'
2143 * Remove pointless debian/grub-mount-udeb.install.hurd-i386;
2144 grub-mount-udeb is not built on the Hurd.
2145 * Refactor debian/grub-common.install.hurd-i386 into .in files so that it
2146 imposes less of a maintenance burden.
2147 * Restore grub-mkdevicemap for now. While it's kind of a mess, requiring
2148 lots of OS-specific code to iterate over all possible devices, we use it
2149 in a number of scripts to discover devices and reimplementing those in
2150 terms of something else would be very complicated.
2151 * Add grub-efi-ia64-bin and grub-efi-ia64 packages. These are currently
2152 experimental, and grub-efi-ia64 does not automatically run grub-install.
2153 * Build-depend on gcc-4.6-multilib on kfreebsd-i386 and hurd-i386 as well
2154 as the other i386 architectures, since we need it to build efiemu32.o
2156 * Add per-platform *-dbg packages containing files needed to use GRUB's
2157 GDB stub. These are relatively large and thus worth splitting out.
2158 * Build-depend on ttf-dejavu-core for the starfield theme.

2587 * Set PACKAGE_VERSION and PACKAGE_STRING using configure arguments rather
2588 than sedding configure.ac in debian/rules (which sometimes has annoying
2589 interactions with quilt, etc.).
2590 * Update branch_embed-sectors.patch:
2591 - Detect sector used by HighPoint RAID controller (closes: #394868).
2592 * Add debian/README.source (from quilt).
2593 * Make debian/rules more explicit about when autogen.sh is run. We need
2594 to be careful that all full builds run it, since we use GRUB extras.
2595 * Merge from Ubuntu:
2596 - Handle filesystems loop-mounted on file images.
2597 - On Wubi, don't ask for an install device, but just update wubildr
2598 using the diverted grub-install.
2599 - Add grub-mount-udeb, containing just grub-mount. This can be used by
2600 os-prober and other parts of d-i.
2601 - Artificially bump Replaces: grub-common versioning to account for
2602 grub-reboot/grub-set-default movement in Ubuntu.
2603 * Don't do a separate build pass for grub-common. It will be identical to
2604 the build for the default platform for the CPU architecture anyway, so
2606 * Build with GCC 4.5 on all architectures.
2607 * Update Lintian overrides for changes in Lintian 2.5.0~rc1.
2608 * Invert how files are split among binary packages: rather than code in
2609 debian/rules to remove files we don't want, add dh_install configuration
2610 to declare the files we do want. This means a little more repetition
2611 for platform-specific programs, but it seems less confusing and easier
2613 * Drop versioned dependencies on base-files. GPL-3 has been there for two
2614 Debian releases now, and the dependency was never upgrade-critical
2616 * Create grub2-common package containing files that are common among GRUB
2617 platform packages but that would break GRUB Legacy, or that are too
2618 confusing when coinstalled with GRUB Legacy (closes: #564167).
2619 * Drop conflict on an ancient (pre-lenny/hardy) version of desktop-base.
2620 * Move /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme to grub-common, to go with the other
2621 /etc/grub.d/* files.
2622 * Drop redundant Suggests: os-prober from several platform packages, as
2623 grub-common already Recommends: os-prober.
2624 * Create grub-<platform>-bin packages corresponding to all grub-<platform>
2625 packages (except for grub-emu). These do not automatically install the
2626 boot loader or update grub.cfg, and they install their binaries to
2627 /usr/lib/grub/<cpu>-<platform>/; this means that they can be installed
2628 in parallel, making it easier to use them to build GRUB-based disk
2629 images (e.g. d-i). The grub-<platform> packages now depend on these and
2630 include symlinks, so their behaviour will remain as before.
2631 * Make grub-emu depend on grub-common.
2632 * Make the documentation directory in most binary packages be a symlink to
2633 that in grub-common.
2634 * Drop lenny compatibility from grub2-common's dpkg/install-info
2635 dependency, since it produces a Lintian warning and using the current

3400 * New Bazaar snapshot.
3401 - Use video functions in Linux loader rather than hardcoding UGA; load
3402 all available video backends (closes: #565576, probably).
3403 - Add support for initrd images on Fedora 13.
3404 - Output grub.cfg stanzas for Xen (closes: #505517).
3405 - Add 'cat --dos' option to treat DOS-style "\r\n" line endings as
3406 simple newlines (closes: #586358).
3407 - Change grub-mkdevicemap to emit /dev/disk/by-id/ names where possible
3409 - Return CF correctly in mmap e820/e801 int15 hook (closes: #584846).
3410 - The info documentation now has no broken references, although of
3411 course it could still use more work (closes: #553460).
3412 - Support GRUB_BADRAM in grub-mkconfig.
3413 - Skip LVM snapshots (closes: #574863).
3416 * Mention grub-rescue-usb.img in grub-rescue-pc description (closes:
3418 * Add instructions for using grub-rescue-usb.img (closes: #586463).
3419 * Remove /usr/lib/grub/mips-* from grub-common rather than the incorrect
3420 /usr/lib/grub/mipsel-*, so that it stops clashing with grub-yeeloong;
3421 add a versioned Replaces to grub-yeeloong just in case (closes:
3423 * Remove qemu-system build-dependency on hurd-i386, where it doesn't seem
3424 to exist. Disable tests if qemu-system-i386 isn't available.
3425 * Mark "upgrade-from-grub-legacy" paragraph in
3426 grub-pc/chainload_from_menu.lst as untranslatable.
3427 * Update Homepage field (thanks, Sedat Dilek).
3428 * On Linux, if /boot/grub/device.map exists on upgrade to this version,
3429 regenerate it to use stable device names in /dev/disk/by-id/. If it had
3430 more than one entry, then display a critical-priority debconf note
3431 (sorry, but it's better than silently breaking boot menu entries)
3432 advising people to check custom boot menu entries and update them if
3433 necessary (closes: #583271).
3434 * Use 'set -e' rather than '#! /bin/sh -e' or '#! /bin/bash -e', to avoid
3435 accidents when debugging with 'sh -x'.
3436 * Store grub-pc/install_devices as persistent device names under
3437 /dev/disk/by-id/ (closes: #554790). Migrate previous device names to
3438 that, with explicit confirmation in non-trivial cases to make sure we
3439 got the right ones. If the devices we were told to install to ever go
3440 away, ask again. (This is based on the implementation in Ubuntu.)
3441 * If grub-install fails during upgrade-from-grub-legacy, allow the user to
3442 try again with a different device, but failing that cancel the upgrade
3444 * Remove numbering from patch files. The order is now explicit in a quilt
3445 series file, and renumbering from time to time is tedious.

3463 * New Bazaar snapshot.
3464 - Fix i386-pc prefix handling with nested partitions (closes: #585068).
3466 * When running grub-pc.postinst from upgrade-from-grub-legacy, tell it to
3467 disregard the fact that /boot/grub/stage2 and /boot/grub/menu.lst still
3468 exist (closes: #550477).
3469 * Touch a marker file when grub-install is run but GRUB Legacy files are
3470 still around. If that marker file is present, pretend that GRUB Legacy
3471 files are missing when upgrading.
3472 * If GRUB Legacy files are present when upgrading, scan boot sectors of
3473 all disks for GRUB 2. If we find GRUB 2 installed anywhere, then ask
3474 the user if they want to finish conversion to GRUB 2, and warn them that
3475 not doing so may render the system unbootable (closes: #586143). Thanks
3476 to Sedat Dilek for helping to narrow down this bug.
3477 * Leaving grub-pc/install_devices empty makes sense in some situations,
3478 but more often than not is a mistake. On the other hand, automatically
3479 selecting all disk devices would upset some people too. Compromise by
3480 simply asking for explicit confirmation if grub-pc/install_devices is
3481 left empty, defaulting to false so that simply selecting all the

3511 use TARGET_* flags to build it, which won't work.
3512 * Don't build-depend on libsdl1.2-dev on hurd-i386. Although
3513 libsdl1.2-dev exists there, it's currently uninstallable due to missing
3514 libpulse-dev, and we can happily live without it for now.

3542 - Add btrfs probing support, currently only in the single-device case
3544 - Fix grub-emu build on mips/powerpc/sparc.
3545 - Add safety check to make sure that /boot/grub/locale exists before
3546 trying to probe it (closes: #567211).
3547 - Several 'info grub' improvements, including a new section on
3548 configuration file generation using grub-mkconfig which documents the
3549 available keys in /etc/default/grub (closes: #497085).
3553 * Reorganise configure and build targets in debian/rules to use stamp
3554 files. configure/* never existed and build/* was always a directory, so
3555 make never considered either of them up to date (closes: #450505).
3556 * Remove config.h.in from AUTOGEN_FILES, since autoheader doesn't
3557 necessarily update it.
3558 * Remove conf/gcry.mk from AUTOGEN_FILES, and conf/gcry.rmk from their
3559 dependencies. autogen.sh runs util/import_gcry.py after autoconf et al,
3560 so conf/gcry.rmk's timestamp will be later than some of the
3561 autogenerated outputs.
3562 * Go back to shipping rescue images in the grub-rescue-pc .deb itself
3563 rather than generating them in the postinst. This means that (a) they
3564 get removed when the package is removed (closes: #584176); (b) they are
3565 listed in package metadata, as is proper for files in /usr (closes:
3566 #584218); (c) grub-rescue-pc can potentially be used as a
3567 build-dependency for other packages that need to build GRUB images into
3568 installation media etc., without having to build-depend on grub-pc which
3569 isn't coinstallable with other platform variants and does invasive
3570 things in its postinst.
3571 * Add grub-mkrescue patch from Thomas Schmitt to allow reducing the size
3572 of xorriso-created images. Use this to ensure that
3573 grub-rescue-floppy.img fits well within size limits (closes: #548320).

3599 devices are in device.map (closes: #577808).

3610 by a different grub package (closes: #574176).

3620 * Clean up temporary files used while building grub-firmware-qemu.

3622 * When upgrading a system where GRUB 2 is chainloaded from GRUB Legacy and
3623 upgrade-from-grub-legacy has not been run, upgrade the chainloaded image
3624 rather than confusing the user by prompting them where they want to

3628 tools called from os-prober don't complain about it (closes: #549976).
