     -- Santiago Ruano Rincón <email address hidden>  Sat, 12 Dec 2015 20:18:02 +0100
  • grub2 (2.02~beta2-22) unstable; urgency=medium
    
    
      * Make grub-common's Suggests on grub-emu architecture-specific, to
        quieten debcheck.
      * Remove unnecessary feature test macros from hostfs, to fix building with
        glibc 2.20.
      * Backport from upstream:
        - Fix UEFI boot failure with some firmware that returns incorrect paths
          (closes: #735960).

  • grub2 (2.02~beta2-21) unstable; urgency=medium
    
    
      [ Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre ]
      * Fix overlap check in check_blocklists for load_env (backported patch
        from upstream commit 1f6af2a9; LP: #1311247).
    
      [ Steve McIntyre ]
      * Add support for running a 64-bit Linux kernel on a 32-bit EFI (closes:
        #775202).
    
      [ Colin Watson ]
      * Use mtmsr rather than mtmsrd in ppc64el-disable-vsx.patch, since the
        "VSX Available" bit is in the lower half of the MSR anyway, and mtmsrd
        faults on 32-bit systems (closes: #776400).

  • grub2 (2.02~beta2-20) unstable; urgency=medium
    
    
      [ Colin Watson ]
      * Generate alternative init entries in advanced menu (closes: #757298,
        #773173).
      * When configuring grub-pc, copy unicode.pf2 to /boot/grub/ even if
        /boot/grub/grub.cfg does not exist yet; this matches the behaviour of
        grub-efi-* (thanks, Luca Capello; closes: #617196).
    
      [ Debconf translations ]
      * [fi] Finnish (Timo Jyrinki; closes: #774060).
      * [mr] Marathi (sampada nakhare; closes: #773901).

  • grub2 (2.02~beta2-19) unstable; urgency=medium
    
    
      [ Steve McIntyre ]
      * Handle case insensitivity of VFAT filesystem on /boot/EFI when installing
        extra cpoy of grub-efi to the removable media path
        /boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/BOOT$ARCH.EFI (Closes: #773092)
      * Make the force_efi_extra_removable debconf prompt only show up when
        configuring grub-*efi*. Closes: #773004
    
      [ Ian Campbell ]
      * Improvements to English wording of new debconf template from Justin B Rye.
      * Add debian/README.source.

  • grub2 (2.02~beta2-18) unstable; urgency=medium
    
    
      [ Steve McIntyre ]
      * Add support for forcing an extra copy of grub-efi to the removable
        media path /boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/BOOT$ARCH.EFI (#767037)
    
      [ Ian Campbell ]
      * Add myself to Uploaders.

  • grub2 (2.02~beta2-17) unstable; urgency=medium
    
    
      [ Colin Watson ]
      * Fix up some pointer-to-integer casts in linuxefi so that it can build on
        i386-efi.
      * Backport from upstream:
        - Fix typo (gettext_print instead of gettext_printf) (LP: #1390766).
    
      [ Ian Campbell ]
      * Correct syntax error in grub-xen-host bootstrap configuration file.
      * Log failure when grub-install fails in postinst, rather than failing the
        entire postinst. (Closes: #770412)
      * Arrange to insmod xzio and lzopio when booting a kernel as a Xen guest.
        (Closes: #755256)

  • grub2 (2.02~beta2-15) unstable; urgency=medium
    
    
      * Disable nvram installation again on chrp_ibm machines that are emulated
        by qemu; that doesn't have nvram devices so the nvram utility inevitably
        fails.
    
     -- Colin Watson <email address hidden>  Wed, 15 Oct 2014 21:34:02 +0100
  • grub2 (2.02~beta2-14) unstable; urgency=medium
    
    
      * On architectures without a real GRUB port, just build the utilities.
        This makes tools such as grub-probe and grub-fstest available
        everywhere, and makes grub-mount available on all Linux and kFreeBSD
        architectures.
      * Remove .MIPS.abiflags section from images (thanks, Jurica Stanojkovic,
        although I used a slightly simpler approach; closes: #762307).
      * Include a text attribute reset in the clear command for ppc
        (LP: #1295255).
      * Disable VSX instruction on powerpc startup to fix booting on ppc64el.
      * Stop adding a CHRP note on chrp_ibm machines, since that apparently
        breaks PowerVM and isn't needed on other machine types as far as we can
        tell (LP: #1334793).
      * Refactor flicker-free-boot configuration in debian/rules to reduce
        duplication.
      * Disable flicker-free-boot on Ubuntu ppc64el for now, as it isn't needed
        there and causes too many problems (LP: #1338471).
      * Use nvram rather than nvsetenv on chrp_ibm machines, since that tool is
        better-supported and copes with such things as nvram being missing in
        qemu.
      * Remove brace-expansion from the postrm, and switch the preinst and
        postrm to /bin/sh (closes: #762940).
      * On ppc64el, look for a PReP partition and install the core image to the
        first one if found.  For now this is done by borrowing prep-bootdev.c
        from grub-installer, incurring a dependency on libparted.

  • grub2 (2.02~beta2-11) unstable; urgency=medium
    
    
      * Force grub-pc/mixed_legacy_and_grub2 to be reshown, rather than failing
        when it was already seen (closes: #749571).
      * Build with GCC 4.9 (closes: #748003).
      * Build for sparc64 (closes: #753784).
      * Fix an infinite loop in grub-mkconfig when kernel paths contain regex
        metacharacters.  Thanks to Heimo Stranner for the report.
      * On upgrade, if we find that one of the install devices no longer exists,
        ask the debconf question at priority critical rather than high.

  • grub2 (2.00-22) unstable; urgency=low
    
    
      * Backport from upstream:
        - On Linux, read partition start offsets from sysfs if possible
          (LP: #1237519).
        - Fix sector number when writing to non-512B disks (LP: #1253443).
      * Regularise indentation of "recordfail" in /etc/grub.d/10_linux.

  • grub2 (2.00-14) unstable; urgency=low
    
    
      * Merge from Ubuntu:
        - Don't call update-grub in the zz-update-grub kernel hook if
          /boot/grub/grub.cfg doesn't exist.
        - acpihalt: expand parser to handle SSDTs and some more opcodes.  Fixes
          test suite hang with current seabios.
      * Remove kernel-specific grub.d conffiles that were dropped from packages
        built for all but their corresponding kernel type in 1.96+20090307-1
        (closes: #703539).
      * Look for grub-bios-setup in /usr/lib/grub/i386-pc/ as well (closes:
        #705636).
      * Merge 1.99-27.1 (thanks, Steve McIntyre):
        - Add entries for Windows Boot Manager found via UEFI in os-prober
          (closes: #698914).
    
     -- Colin Watson <email address hidden>  Thu, 09 May 2013 00:14:55 +0100
  • grub2 (1.99-27+deb7u2) stable; urgency=low
    
    
      * Backport from upstream:
        - Fix booting FreeBSD >= 9.1 amd64 kernels (closes: #699002).
    
     -- Robert Millan <email address hidden>  Mon, 01 Jul 2013 19:36:21 +0200
  • grub2 (1.99-27+deb7u1) testing-proposed-updates; urgency=medium
    
    
      * NMU
      * Add entries for Windows Boot Manager found via UEFI in
        os-prober. Closes: #698914 before the Wheezy release.
      * TPU upload to lose dependency blockage on LVM.

  • grub2 (1.99-22.1) unstable; urgency=low
    
    
      * Non-maintainer upload.
      * Apply upstream patches for hurd-i386:
        - Test inode number (Closes: #634799).
        - Disable zfs code on GNU/Hurd (Closes: #670069).
        - Add userland partition support (Closes: #670186).
      * Fix packages build without libfuse (Closes: #670189).
