Changelog
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.
