[Description Ryan Hill (RETIRED) 2005-05-08 19:12:24 UTC]

grub 0.97 has been released.  i'm testing the current patchset against it in a moment.  one thing that's been fixed in this release is GCC 4.0 support.

grub-0.97.ebuild

removed warnings and GCC4 patch as both issues are fixed in this version. 
bumped required automake to 1.9.4 as per changelog.  builds on gcc 3.3.6,
3.4.3, and 4.0.0.

[Comment 4 Peter Volkov (RETIRED) 2005-05-12 05:57:35 UTC]

This ebuild is working for me too.

BTW. I've reported about fix for savedefault feature for 0.96 long time ago. There are similar bugs also (http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=90342) with the same fix. Does anybody knows why patch is not in portage? And yes in 0.97 savedefault is working as should.

[Comment 5 Ryan Hill (RETIRED) 2005-05-12 13:31:34 UTC]

you mean in 0.97 savedefault works as it should with or without that patch?

[Comment 6 Canal Vorfeed 2005-05-17 03:38:18 UTC]

savedefault patch was pulled from official grub CVS so it's in grub 0.97...

[Comment 7 Ryan Hill (RETIRED) 2005-06-11 21:40:56 UTC]

ping.

is rob off in london again?

[Comment 8 Seemant Kulleen (RETIRED) 2005-06-13 04:54:59 UTC]

I do not know where robmoss is, but he's been missing forever.  Please consider
him absent, as far as grub bugs go (looking for a replacement maintainer).

[Comment 9 Ryan Hill (RETIRED) 2005-06-13 17:22:27 UTC]

hi seemant.  can we assign rob's bug to a herd until a new maintainer is found?
 i'm worried they'll slip through the cracks otherwise.  i'm ccing you directly
since vapier seems to disagree this belongs to base.  hope that's okay.

[Comment 10 Ryan Hill (RETIRED) 2005-06-21 18:55:58 UTC]

Reassigning to [e-mail]

[Comment 11 Maurice van der Pot (RETIRED) 2005-06-29 10:49:50 UTC]

Mass reassign of bugs on orphaned packages to appropriate assignee.

[Comment 12 SpanKY 2005-06-29 20:57:01 UTC]

seemant was mistaken about robmoss being missing forever

he showed up somewhat recently and started working on grub again

[Comment 13 Ryan Hill (RETIRED) 2005-07-02 19:51:59 UTC]
