Description Doug Goldstein (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-11-03 11:35:33 UTC 
grub-static fails to copy the stage files to /boot/grub. It also fails to create the menu.lst -> grub.conf symlink inside of /boot/grub
Comment 1 Doug Goldstein (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-11-03 11:43:40 UTC 
I was told to CC you Daniel.
Comment 2 Olivier Crete (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-11-03 11:48:55 UTC 
I copied the relevant code from the grub ebuild..  it seems to work
Comment 3 Doug Goldstein (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-11-03 11:52:16 UTC 
Did you put it in the stable version as well?
Comment 4 Olivier Crete (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-11-03 12:02:17 UTC 
No, I dont really like modifying stable ebuilds... that have been there unmodified for many years.

That said, we should stable 0.97.
Comment 5 Daniel Drake (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-11-03 14:59:23 UTC 
Thanks. This was nothing to do with the recent bump that I did, but I did have this noted on my todo list. Also I will be requesting 0.97 to go stable soon, once it's been around a while longer.
