Package: grub-common
Version: 1.98~20100128-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
In the rush to make official 2.6.32 kernel packages available in
Debian, the maintainers initially used image names of the form
vmlinuz-2.6.32-trunk-FLAVOR to indicate that they hadn't yet reached a
final -1 ABI. They now have, but grub's version comparison function
incorrectly treats the older -trunk packages as newer. (I'm not sure
why the maintainers chose -trunk rather than -0 or ~trunk, but what's
done is done.)
The good news is that the relevant shell function (version_test_gt
from grub-mkconfig_lib) already has a provision for sorting some
suffixes early, so I propose simply adjusting it to do the same for
-trunk:
--- /usr/lib/grub/grub-mkconfig_lib 2010-01-28 11:05:49.000000000 -0500
+++ /home/amu/tmp/grub-mkconfig_lib 2010-02-02 14:38:27.000000000 -0500

Could you please do so?
Thanks!
P.S. I found #522194 when checking for duplicates, but I'm reporting
this issue separately, as I don't necessarily want kernels sorted by
mtime either. (Such a setup could interact poorly with security
updates to otherwise older kernels.) The fact that I only care
nowadays about the names official Debian kernels use should simplify
matters, though.
