---
grub2 (1.97+20091130-1ubuntu1) lucid; urgency=low
* Resynchronise with Debian (LP: #485457). Remaining changes:
+ debian/default/grub:
- Adjust for default Ubuntu boot options.
- Use GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT option to set "quiet splash" for
default items only. These options won't be set in single user mode.
- Default to hiding the menu; holding down Shift at boot will show it.
+ debian/templates.in:
- Change default value of grub2/linux_cmdline_default to "quiet
splash".
+ debian/config.in, debian/postinst.in, debian/grub-pc.templates.in:
- Migrate timeout settings from menu.lst.
+ debian/grub.d/05_debian_theme:
- Set a monochromatic theme for Ubuntu.
+ debian/legacy/update-grub:
- Apply Ubuntu branding: title, recovery mode, quiet option, and tweak
how memtest86+ is displayed.
- Use UUIDs where appropriate.
+ debian/control:
- Conflict with grub (<< 0.97-54) as well as grub-legacy.
+ debian/postinst.in:
- Fix backslash-escaping in merge_debconf_into_conf.
+ debian/patches/03_ubuntu_grub_standards:
- Remove GNU/Linux from default string.
+ debian/patches/10_crashkernel.patch:
- Add crashkernel= options if kdump and makedumpfile are available.
+ debian/patches/951_quick_boot.diff:
- 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.
+ debian/patches/952_sleep_shift.diff:
- Allow Shift to interrupt 'sleep --interruptible'.
+ debian/patches/954_normal_quiet.diff:
- 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.
+ debian/patches/955_really_quiet.diff:
- Remove some verbose messages printed before reading the
configuration file.
+ debian/patches/956_linux_quiet.diff:
- If the environment variable "quiet" is set to something other than
0, suppress progress messages as the kernel and initrd load. Set
this for non-recovery kernel menu entries.
+ debian/patches/957_savedefault.diff, debian/rules:
- Add GRUB_DEFAULT=saved, as well as grub-set-default and grub-reboot
utilities. Provides functionality essentially equivalent to GRUB
Legacy's savedefault.
+ debian/patches/959_loopback_root.diff:
- Keep the loopback file open so that subsequent changes to the "root"
environment variable don't affect it.
+ debian/patches/961_handle_loopback.diff:
- Change prepare_grub_to_access_device to handle filesystems
loop-mounted on file images.
+ debian/patches/963_linux_no_loopmount.diff:
- Ignore devices loop-mounted from files in 10_linux.
+ debian/patches/965_failed_boot_menu.diff, debian/grub-common.init,
debian/grub-common.pm-sleep, debian/grub-common.dirs, debian/rules:
- 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.
+ debian/patches/968_raid_virtio.diff:
- Handle RAID devices containing virtio components.
* debian/patches/957_savedefault.diff: Fix --version output from
grub-reboot and grub-set-default (see LP #480571).
* debian/patches/957_savedefault.diff: Cope with /boot being on a separate
filesystem (LP: #478035).
* debian/patches/957_savedefault.diff, 965_failed_boot_menu.diff: Use 'set
var=val' rather than plain 'var=val'.
* debian/patches/969_format_errors.diff: Fix compilation errors due to
gettext work.
