Hello,
I'd like to have some info about the 'grub-mkconfig script'. I'm
packaging grub 1.98.
Tell me if I'm wrong ; this script generates a '/boot/grub/grub.cfg.new'
then it renames it to '/boot/grub/grub.cfg'.
I see a line saying: echo /boot/grub | sed "s,x,x" ; what is it used
for? The sed command does not change anything here, I think.
The problem is that slackware and other distributions use a "*.new"
renaming pattern when upgrading packages, in order to not overwrite
important config files. Then the user has to deal with these .new files,
rename, overwrite or toss away.
If 'grub-mkconfig' is really doing what I think it does, then it would
just overwrite this important file, '/boot/grub/grub.cfg.new'.
Sorry for my english.
