This is good to hear. I know there's distro maintainers who don't enjoy
having to keep large patch sets on top of the releases.

CC'd distributions list in case there's people there who don't watch
this list but might be interested in knowing why the release tarball
fails.

FYI for them, the missing file is grub-core/extra_deps.lst and, at the
time of writing, contains the following line:

Thank you!

Yeah, I am not happy with that too. I hope we will be releasing yearly
starting from now and shorten release candence at point when it is
needed/possible/...

I have just pushed your patch. If more issues will pop up then maybe
I will cut a minor release.

First of all, congrats on releasing. It's been a long time in the
making. But...

The release tarball fails to build because the grub-core/extra_deps.lst
file is not included in it. I just sent a patch which fixes it (at least
on my end).

Hopefully it works for others too and a new release can be made.

GRUB 2.12 released

2023-12-20 Thread Daniel Kiper
Hi all,

GRUB maintainers are proud to announce GRUB 2.12 that has been just released.
You can find list of new features and major fixes since release 2.06 in the
NEWS file.

We would like to thank all the people who have contributed to the project.

The tarball is available at https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/grub/grub-2.12.tar.xz
and its signature at https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/grub/grub-2.12.tar.xz.sig

Release is signed with the following fingerprint:
  BE5C 2320 9ACD DACE B20D  B0A2 8C81 89F1 988C 2166

It's also available as a signed grub-2.12 tag in official git repository.

If you do not have xz support alternatively you may consider file
https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/grub/grub-2.12.tar.gz and its signature at
https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/grub/grub-2.12.tar.gz.sig

If you want a binary version for Windows (i386-pc, i386-efi and x86_64-efi
flavors) it is available under 
https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/grub/grub-2.12-for-windows.zip
and its signature at https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/grub/grub-2.12-for-windows.zip.sig

The GRUB documentation has been also updated and is available at
https://www.gnu.org/software/grub/grub-documentation.html
