grub2 1.98+20100804-4ubuntu1 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

grub2 (1.98+20100804-4ubuntu1) maverick; urgency=low

  * Resynchronise with Debian.  Remaining changes:
    - Adjust for default Ubuntu boot options ("quiet splash").
    - Default to hiding the menu; holding down Shift at boot will show it.
    - Set a monochromatic theme for Ubuntu.
    - Apply Ubuntu GRUB Legacy changes to legacy update-grub script: title,
      recovery mode, quiet option, tweak how memtest86+ is displayed, and
      use UUIDs where appropriate.
    - Fix backslash-escaping in merge_debconf_into_conf.
    - Remove "GNU/Linux" from default distributor string.
    - Add crashkernel= options if kdump and makedumpfile are available.
    - If other operating systems are installed, then automatically unhide
      the menu.  Otherwise, if GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT is 0, then use keystatus
      if available to check whether Shift is pressed.  If it is, show the
      menu, otherwise boot immediately.  If keystatus is not available, then
      fall back to a short delay interruptible with Escape.
    - Allow Shift to interrupt 'sleep --interruptible'.
    - Don't display introductory message about line editing unless we're
      actually offering a shell prompt.  Don't clear the screen just before
      booting if we never drew the menu in the first place.
    - Remove some verbose messages printed before reading the configuration
      file.
    - Suppress progress messages as the kernel and initrd load for
      non-recovery kernel menu entries.
    - Change prepare_grub_to_access_device to handle filesystems
      loop-mounted on file images.
    - Ignore devices loop-mounted from files in 10_linux.
    - Show the boot menu if the previous boot failed, that is if it failed
      to get to the end of one of the normal runlevels.
    - Handle RAID devices containing virtio components.
    - Don't generate /boot/grub/device.map during grub-install or
      grub-mkconfig by default.
    - Adjust upgrade version checks for Ubuntu.
    - Don't display "GRUB loading" unless Shift is held down.
    - Adjust versions of grub-doc and grub-legacy-doc conflicts to tolerate
      our backport of the grub-doc split.
    - Fix LVM/RAID probing in the absence of /boot/grub/device.map.
    - Look for .mo files in /usr/share/locale-langpack as well, in
      preference.
    - Make sure GRUB_TIMEOUT isn't quoted unnecessarily.
    - Probe all devices in 'grub-probe --target=drive' if
      /boot/grub/device.map is missing.
    - Adjust hostdisk id for hard disks, allowing grub-setup to use its
      standard workaround for broken BIOSes.
    - Build-depend on qemu-kvm rather than qemu-system for grub-pc tests.
    - Use qemu rather than qemu-system-i386.
    - Extend the EFI version of grub-install to be able to install into an
      EFI System Partition mounted on /boot/efi in a location that complies
      with the EFI specification.
    - Upgrade the installed core image when upgrading grub-efi-ia32 or
      grub-efi-amd64, although only if /boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu already exists.
    - Make grub-efi-ia32 and grub-efi-amd64 depend on efibootmgr so that
      grub-install works properly.
    - Program vesafb on BIOS systems rather than efifb.
  * Go back to gfxpayload=text by default for Ubuntu 10.10, as the kernel
    needs more work to avoid lockups with some video cards
    (LP: #605614, #608429, #612626).

grub2 (1.98+20100804-4) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Updated translations ]
  * Italian (it.po) by Luca Monducci (closes: #593685).
  * Finnish (fi.po) by Esko Arajärvi (closes: #593921).

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Run update-grub from kernel hooks if DEB_MAINT_PARAMS is unset, for
    compatibility with old kernel packages.  This may produce duplicate runs
    of update-grub, but that's better than not running it at all (closes:
    #594037).

grub2 (1.98+20100804-3) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Updated translations ]
  * Brazilian Portuguese (pt_BR.po) by Flamarion Jorge (closes: #592156).

    - zfs_fix_label_arg.patch: Fix grub-probe fs_label argument.
    - zfs_fix_pathname.patch: Fix pathname for non-root ZFS filesystems.
    - zfs_fix_segfault.patch: Fix segfault when /dev is not mounted.

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Escape single quotes when removing them from $mode in zz-update-grub, so
    that this works when /bin/sh is bash (thanks, Will Dyson; closes:
    #593242).
  * Add support for ext2 root on GNU/kFreeBSD (thanks, Aurelien Jarno;
    closes: #593467).

grub2 (1.98+20100804-2) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Make /etc/kernel/postrm.d/zz-update-grub a real file rather than a
    symlink (closes: #592076).

  [ Updated translations ]
  * Norwegian Bokmål (nb.po) by Hans Nordhaug (closes: #591569).

grub2 (1.98+20100804-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New Bazaar snapshot.
    - Fix grub-emu build on GNU/kFreeBSD (closes: #591490).

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Add kernel hook scripts and remove any uses of update-grub as a
    postinst_hook or postrm_hook in /etc/kernel-img.conf (closes: #554175).
    Thanks to Ben Hutchings for advice and to Harald Braumann for an early
    implementation.
  * Extend the existing GRUB_LEGACY_0_BASED_PARTITIONS handling to avoid
    new-style partition naming when generating output for GRUB Legacy
    (closes: #590554).

  [ Updated translations ]
  * Slovak (sk.po) by Slavko (closes: #591458).

grub2 (1.98+20100802-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New Bazaar snapshot.
    - Remove compatibility with terminal.mod prior to
      terminal_input/terminal_output separation (LP: #519358).
    - Enable `grub-probe -t device' resolution on ZFS.
    - Don't use UUID for LVM root when generating Xen entries (closes:
      #591093).
    - Restore missing whitespace to commands' --help output (closes:
      #590874).
    - Select unique numbers for named RAID arrays, for use as keys in the
      disk cache.

  [ Updated translations ]
  * German (Martin Eberhard Schauer).  Closes: #590108
  * Spanish (Francisco Javier Cuadrado).  Closes: #590448

  * Danish (Joe Hansen).  Closes: #591223

    using camcontrol.

    grub-probe and grub-setup.
  * control: Build-Depend on libzfs-dev and libnvpair-dev on kfreebsd-*.

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Offer RAID devices as GRUB installation targets if they contain /,
    /boot, or /boot/grub.
