On the topic of grub minor update releases (and betas too), do you know where I can get a good grub-script-level sysadmin view of what has actually changed? I'm running the betas, but a bit blind as the only update info I've been able to find is per-commit granularity, many commits per day, and I can't see the forest for all the trees! I'd be far more comfortable with something rather more fuzzy than individual commits, but not so fuzzy and opaque as simply version number bumps. This is of concern to me in part because I directly edit grub.cfg and includes, because the meta-level config "helpers" that are supposedly intended for "mere mortals" were far more fog than help to me, and I both couldn't get done what I wanted to do, and I needed to use the direct grub-script level commands anyway, and once I understood them, all the extra noise from the meta-level stuff was simply noisy cruft that obscured the real operation. Since I'm working at the direct grub-script level, I really need that level of detail on changes in updates as well. Not the high-level-meta- config stuff, not the per-commit stuff, something in between, analogous to the grub-script level but in a changelog. And I need it for the betas as well as the full releases, since I'm running the betas. Which means a changelog with the betas included so I could see what changed between betas as well as between general releases would be best. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
