Just throwing this out there - I'm not really stating my opinion on this, as I'm fairly neutral.
Considering grub development is basically dead (waiting for grub2), what do you guys think about adding the splashimage patch to our official grub? See grub-gfx in community. I have used it for ages on my machine with no issues. It simply adds one config file variable.
As I said, I'm neutral on this. It kinda flies in the face of the minimal patches idea, but grub is pretty much all patches these days.
urgh. I wonder why especially you raise that question. http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DeveloperWiki:Patching It's an essential core package where "eyecandy" patching is a strict NOGO to me. I see not one reason why it should be acceptable to break our rules here. So a big -1 from me here. -Andy
