[aur-general] Remove AUR grub2-efi package
Please remove the grub2-efi package http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=34470 . I have uploaded grub2-efi-x64 http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=39904 and grub2-efi-x86 http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=39905 to replace it. I already informed grub2-efi maintainer "bardo" about the new packages and he has agreed for grub2-efi's removal. Thanks.

Small quibble, wouldn't grub2-efi-x86_64 and grub2-efi-x86 be more descriptive? Not sure if x64 is the suitable label....

wait I don't get it.... as I said in a personal mail to the OP already I really have to read more about this efi support thing.... both packages have both arches specified yet they are both targeted at a specific arch. Can someone explain how this stuff works? :P Ronald

See http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Unified_Extensible_Firmware_Interface and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UEFI for more info. The grub2-efi-x86_64 is also correct but I used grub2-efi-x64 simply to keep pkgname short. I also use the pkgname to rename the grub2 utilities in the package using program_name_transformation configure option. Regards.
