Now the CVS repository of PUPA is moved to that of GRUB. It is available as "grub2" under the same repository as grub.
The repository was moved by a Savannah admin physically, so that it would not lose history data. If you see any problem, report it to Savannah hackers. I have added Marco and Jeroen into the project GNU GRUB, to give them write permission to the CVS repository. If anyone else requires a write permission to GRUB 2, let me know. If you have a local copy of the PUPA repository and want to change it to the new location, I recommend looking at cvs-utils <http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/cvs-utils/>. It includes a script named newcvsroot which changes all repository names appropriately. We would like to create a new mailing list for GRUB 2 development. But Savannah has something wrong about this. So I haven't succeeded to make a list yet. I'm now contacting Savannah hackers. I will announce, once it is made. Next things would be to put a notice about this change on the web site of PUPA, and to update the GRUB homepage. I myself will do the former (PUPA), but I'd like Saifi to do the latter (GRUB). Saifi, if you need more info than what you can get from the current web pages of PUPA, feel free to ask me. These are short descriptions about future directions: PUPA: Do not use it any more. We will work on GRUB 2 instead, as a part of the project GNU. GRUB: Let's treat it as a working but poor version. For now, GRUB is much more useful than GRUB 2, but we need to change this. We should not add any new feature into GRUB. All changes must be bug fixes. (A few exceptions exist, because I promised some new features should be included in GRUB.) GRUB2: This is what we should work on seriously. We don't care about backward compatibility so much. It must be improved a lot so that it can be used in everyday work.
