Hi, Erich. The GRUB patch that will soon be available from ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/unstable/main/sources/base/grub_0.5-2.diff.gz has a number of IMO important changes (attached).
If your changes between 0.5 and your current sources are less extensive, would you mind sending me a diff, so that I can merge them into mine, and then we'll have a GRUB with the latest and greatest features? I was hoping you'd release some code a week ago, but since that didn't happen, I just continued working on 0.5. The next thing I'm going to look at is implementing symlink support. Thanks, -- Gordon Matzigkeit <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> //\ I'm a FIG (http://www.fig.org/) Lovers of freedom, unite! \// I use GNU (http://www.gnu.org/) [Unfortunately, www.fig.org is broken. Please stay tuned for details.] 1999-02-14 Gordon Matzigkeit <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * shared_src/shared.h: (addr32, data32): Delete definitions. * stage1/stage1.S: Modify to use GAS's new .code16 semantics. shared_src/asm.S: Likewise. * configure: Test to see if the `addr32' instruction is supported. Ian Lance Taylor says that GAS's interpretation of `.code16' has changed. Older versions always generated 32-bit code, but implicitly inserted addr32 and data32 when .code16 was given. Newer versions generate 16-bit code, and require manual addr32 and data32 overrides. * shared_src/shared.h: Add some assertions to check that buffer addresses are properly defined. 1999-02-12 Gordon Matzigkeit <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * shared_src/stage2.c (run_menu): Pause if we failed to boot both the default and fallback entries. * configure: Check to make sure that GAS actually honors .code16 directives. 1999-02-02 Gordon Matzigkeit <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * shared_src/asm.S: Fix typo that called interrupt 0xd (decimal 13) instead of 0x13. 1998-10-23 Gordon Matzigkeit <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * configure: Accept `--host' as a synonym for `--target', and accept a non-optional argument as the target name. Join the prefix to the tool name with a hyphen. * shared_src/disk_io.c (print_fsys_type): Always print the partition type. * shared_src/stage2.c (run_menu): Check to make sure that the fallback entry is nonnegative. (run_menu): For consistency, use `e' rather than enter to edit the command entry.
