Hi, how about this:
----------------------------------------------------------------- The C program gets renamed to grub-mkiso.c. The binary gets installed under two names: grub-mkiso and grub-mkrescue. If started as "grub-mkiso" the program implements the change in the CLI. I.e. "--" marks the start of xorriso -as mkisofs options. If started as "grub-mkrescue", an own argument parser implements the old behavior of the grub-mkrescue(.in) script. I.e. unknown arguments are used as xorriso -as mkisofs options. The unknown argument "--" then causes xorriso -as mkisofs emulation to end. ----------------------------------------------------------------- This would avoid to bother scripting users of grub-mkrescue or maintainers of things like http://www.unix.com/man-page/linux/1/GRUB-MKRESCUE/ The name grub-mkiso would be well appropriate because the program produces GRUB2 bootable ISO images not only for rescue systems, but also for system distributions and live CDs. Needed would be: - Legacy parser in the C program compatible to old grub-mkrescue.in - New help text in C program to reflect grub-mkiso CLI. - Old help text in C program gets triggered by the legacy parser. It should mention that there is also the more modern grub-mkiso. - Update docs/grub.texi, describing grub-mkiso and mentioning that grub-mkrescue is outdated. Except the legacy parser, all these tasks have to be addressed anyway, in order to reflect the current change from grub-mkrescue.in to grub-mkrescue.c. Have a nice day :) Thomas _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
