newreloc (https://code.launchpad.net/~skodabenz/grub/grub2-branch-newreloc) is currently synced with mainline but experimental is still using the old build system. >> Currently I have included the following programs >> as makedepends for my grub2-efi (using rev 2627 snapshot tarball, not >> 1.98 tarball) package in archlinux >> >> ruby >> bison >> python (version 2, not 3) >> binutils >> autoconf' >> automake >> autogen >> texinfo >> ncurses >> flex >> help2man >> gettext >> >> All the packages have devel libraries included?

(I havn't tried it myself, just asking) Python 3 is supposed to be backward "incompatible" with python 2. Thats why I asked. Are flex, bison and ncurses still needed for mainline? In case you are interested, this is the grub2-efi package I maintain http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=40290 (PKGBUILD http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/grub2-efi-bzr/grub2-efi-bzr/PKGBUILD - build script for Archlinux similar to rpm spec file or deb rules file). Any progress on grub-extras support in the build system? Regards.
