[aur-general] grub-legacy-fedora-git package
Hi all, I have created a PKGBUILD for Fedora's GRUB Legacy fork, grub-legacy-fedora-git https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=47959 . It includes support for GPT boot (not tested) and supports ext4 /boot (tested using the UEFI package). It does not include any of the patches used in core/grub package. It compiles fine with the binutils in Arch repos (unlike the current core/grub and aur/grub-gfx packages). It also supports splashimage (gfx) option. Although I maintain that package, I do not use it. I use grub2-bios-bzr which I maintain). Important info :- 1. The menu config file is /boot/grub/grub.conf, not /boot/grub/menu.lst . 2. The syntax for splashimage is (for example) - splashimage (hd0,0)/boot/grub/image.xpm.gz 3. The package builds fine in x86_64 with gcc-multilib. I have not checked whether it compiles without gcc-multilib (grub2 1.99 compiles without multilib in x86_64). Would be helpful if someone confirms whether it compiles in x86_64 without multilib. I request current core/grub and aur/grub-gfx users to test this package and give your comments/suggestions. Regards. Keshav PS: The equivalent UEFI package is grub-legacy-efi-fedora https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=47979 .
