Grub does not manage ubuntu or debian's (or any other

these distros recompile and update these packages. Only their own
codebase which is stored in their svn codebase. Debian'snewest
package is a little out of date, and ubuntu's newest package is
_really_ out of date. This means that your patch may have already
installed your patch in the grub2 codebase and by installing fro
your distributon's repository, you wouldn't even know. This means
that you can either a) file a bug report with your distrbution and
wait for the package to propigate (which cold take up to 6 mos for
ubuntu for the jaunty jackalope 9.04 release and even longer for
debian, depending. You could speed this up by running the alpha
version of your distro, but this is not recommended.) or b) break
down and install from grub2 svn. Installing from svn is not very
hard. The commands are:
svn co http://url
Cd grub2
./configure
make
sudo make install
You would need to look up the url for the grub svn though. Also be
aware that grub2 will not compile on a 64 bit system yet.

Can somebody please integrate my patches? For the parent article and
the "grub-install message should mention --recheck" article.
I am a mere "apt-get install" user. I fear if I learn your whole
source code system, and finally make an official patch, it too will
fall on deaf ears.
As I expect I will only have one patch per three years, please
integrate it for me. Thanks.
