grub2 1.99-2ubuntu1 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

grub2 (1.99-2ubuntu1) oneiric; 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 and an appropriate background for Ubuntu.
    - Apply Ubuntu GRUB Legacy changes to legacy update-grub script.
    - Fix backslash-escaping in merge_debconf_into_conf.
    - Remove "GNU/Linux" from default distributor string.
    - Add crashkernel option.
    - Bypass menu unless other OSes are installed or Shift is pressed.
    - Allow Shift to interrupt 'sleep --interruptible'.
    - Reduce visual clutter in normal mode.
    - Remove verbose messages printed before reading configuration.
    - Suppress kernel/initrd progress messages, except in recovery mode.
    - Show the boot menu if the previous boot failed.
    - Don't generate device.map during grub-install or grub-mkconfig.
    - Adjust upgrade version checks for Ubuntu.
    - Suppress "GRUB loading" message unless Shift is held down.
    - Adjust versions of grub-doc and grub-legacy-doc conflicts.
    - Fix LVM/RAID probing in the absence of /boot/grub/device.map.
    - Look for .mo files in /usr/share/locale-langpack first.
    - Build-depend on qemu-kvm rather than qemu-system for grub-pc tests.
    - Check hardware support before using gfxpayload=keep.
    - Put second and subsequent Linux menu entries in a submenu.
    - Preferred resolution detection for VBE.
    - Set vt.handoff=7 for smooth handoff to kernel graphical mode.
    - Update default/grub.md5sum to include maverick's default md5sum.
  * Drop grub-rescue-efi-amd64, superseded by grub-efi-amd64-bin.

grub2 (1.99-2) unstable; urgency=low

  * Include both old and new Lintian override styles for
    statically-linked-binary tag, since ftp-master has not yet been updated
    to 2.5.0~rc1.

grub2 (1.99-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New upstream release.
    - Ensure uniqueness of RAID array numbers even if some elements have a
      name (closes: #609804).
    - Remove unnecessary brackets from tr arguments (closes: #612564).
    - Add grub-mkrescue info documentation (closes: #612585).
    - Avoid generating invalid configuration when something that looks like
      a Xen hypervisor is present without any Xen kernels (closes: #612898).
    - Fix memory alignment when calling 'linux' multiple times on EFI
      (closes: #616638).
    - Fix grub-install on amd64 EFI systems (closes: #617388).
    - Automatically export pager variable (closes: #612995).
    - Fix parser error with "time" (closes: #612991).
    - Ignore case of bitmap extensions (closes: #611123).
    - Skip vmlinux-* on x86 platforms (closes: #536846, #546008).
    - Accept old-style Xen kernels (closes: #610428).
    - Skip damaged LVM volumes (closes: #544731).
    - Handle LVM mirroring (closes: #598441).
    - Detect spares and report them as not RAID members (closes: #611561).
    - Don't enable localisation unless gfxterm is available (closes:
      #604609).
    - Fix partitioned RAID support (closes: #595071, #613444).
    - Dynamically count the number of lines for the lower banner (closes:
      #606494).
    - Improve quoting in grub-mkconfig, to support background image file
      names containing spaces (closes: #612417).
    - Flush BIOS disk devices more accurately (closes: #623124).
    - Identify RAID devices by their UUID rather than by their guessed name
      (closes: #624232).
    - Add "SEE ALSO" sections to most man pages (closes: #551428).

  * Drop extra word in French debconf translation. Thanks to David
    Prévôt.
  * Fix spelling error in French debconf translation. Thanks to David
    Prévôt.

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Set PACKAGE_VERSION and PACKAGE_STRING using configure arguments rather
    than sedding configure.ac in debian/rules (which sometimes has annoying
    interactions with quilt, etc.).
  * Update branch_embed-sectors.patch:
    - Detect sector used by HighPoint RAID controller (closes: #394868).
  * Add debian/README.source (from quilt).
  * Make debian/rules more explicit about when autogen.sh is run.  We need
    to be careful that all full builds run it, since we use GRUB extras.
  * Merge from Ubuntu:
    - Handle filesystems loop-mounted on file images.
    - On Wubi, don't ask for an install device, but just update wubildr
      using the diverted grub-install.
    - Add grub-mount-udeb, containing just grub-mount.  This can be used by
      os-prober and other parts of d-i.
    - Artificially bump Replaces: grub-common versioning to account for
      grub-reboot/grub-set-default movement in Ubuntu.
  * Don't do a separate build pass for grub-common.  It will be identical to
    the build for the default platform for the CPU architecture anyway, so
    reuse that.
  * Build with GCC 4.5 on all architectures.
  * Update Lintian overrides for changes in Lintian 2.5.0~rc1.
  * Invert how files are split among binary packages: rather than code in
    debian/rules to remove files we don't want, add dh_install configuration
    to declare the files we do want.  This means a little more repetition
    for platform-specific programs, but it seems less confusing and easier
    to extend.
  * Drop versioned dependencies on base-files.  GPL-3 has been there for two
    Debian releases now, and the dependency was never upgrade-critical
    anyway.
  * Create grub2-common package containing files that are common among GRUB
    platform packages but that would break GRUB Legacy, or that are too
    confusing when coinstalled with GRUB Legacy (closes: #564167).
  * Drop conflict on an ancient (pre-lenny/hardy) version of desktop-base.
  * Move /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme to grub-common, to go with the other
    /etc/grub.d/* files.
  * Drop redundant Suggests: os-prober from several platform packages, as
    grub-common already Recommends: os-prober.
  * Create grub-<platform>-bin packages corresponding to all grub-<platform>
    packages (except for grub-emu).  These do not automatically install the
    boot loader or update grub.cfg, and they install their binaries to
    /usr/lib/grub/<cpu>-<platform>/; this means that they can be installed
    in parallel, making it easier to use them to build GRUB-based disk
    images (e.g. d-i).  The grub-<platform> packages now depend on these and
    include symlinks, so their behaviour will remain as before.
  * Make grub-emu depend on grub-common.
  * Make the documentation directory in most binary packages be a symlink to
    that in grub-common.
  * Drop lenny compatibility from grub2-common's dpkg/install-info
    dependency, since it produces a Lintian warning and using the current
    packaging on lenny is probably rather a stretch anyway.
