[aur-general] delete grub-gfx
Hi, Please delete grub-gfx https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=2416 . Although it has more votes, I modified the PKGBUILD a bit and replaced the package with grub-legacy-gfx https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=50986 which builds fine in x86_64 system with gcc-multilib. Thanks in advance. Regards. Keshav

I would keep grub-gfx and remove grub-legacy-gfx. The package in [core] is also called grub and not grub-legacy. And the source package is also called grub-0.97.tar.gz and not grub-legacy-0.97.tar.gz. So grub-gfx is the better name. Heiko

I mentioned "current" upstream naming. According to upstream, presently grub2 aka grub 1.9x == grub and grub 0.97 == grub-legacy . I have also submittted a grub-legacy PKGBUILD to Allan for inclusion in official repo (grub itself may be removed from core repo, who knows). The source tarball name won't change upstream as it was generated years back, shortly before grub became grub-legacy. //offnote: I simply bumped this thread since its strange that no one replied to this mail for 4 days.

fyi, I have no plans to remove or rename grub from core anytime soon and I doubt Allan will rename it without letting me know. Grub2 is unstable. Sure so is grub1 officially but at least they don't break it with every release. Ronald

You've got a good, but while grub-legacy is called 'grub' in Archlinux Official repository, I see no need for changing grub-gfx name. If I see grub2, grub and grub-gfx, I would think that grub-gfx have different version than grub2. When/If 'grub' maintainer decide to change it to grub-legacy, I will vote favorable to change name. That's only my 2 cents, anyway. :) Cheers,

Grub legacy is just an inofficial name by upstream to make clear that this version is not developed anymore and to encourage people to switch to grub2. Or in other words just to stress the difference between grub and grub2, so that people don't get the idea that grub2 is just an updated version of grub instead of a rewrite. Heiko
