I started reposting a few of these patches after 2.02 was released and I'm awaiting a response: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/grub-devel/2017-05/msg00045.html http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/grub-devel/2017-06/msg00019.html How about starting where things left off with the two patches above? _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
