This is the grub build for the efi system. it is named to egrub (like intel named it originally or to conform to elilo) the support for efi can't be added to the grub ebuild as the efi verison is build differently grub and egrub installs the same files so they should block each other Reproducible: Always
Created attachment 254273 [details] sys-boot/egrub/egrub-0.97.ebuild the grub based on grub-fedora the patchset that is applied is the patschset fron the grub package in the fedora fc14 source packge this patchset dont have any of the gentoo patches (extract the efi patches from the fedora verison and integrate into the gentoo patchset ?)
Created attachment 254275 [details, diff] sys-boot/egrub/files/grub-0.97-grub-set-default-1.patch add the missing set-grub-default script

so, let me see if i understand you ... you're copying the whole grub ebuild and adding one or two flags to it so that it builds grub to support EFI ? sounds like this is a dupe of Bug 308385 and you should work on that. i'm not going to merge a dupe of another ebuild.
(for legacy grub) Did you just do a regex replace? - There is no mount-efi.eclass. - Why are you excluding ALL the rest of the patchseries and reverting the numbering to 1.0? - You've dropped all of the amd64 build stuff for the grub-static packaging or users that need a static grub regardless. - You've dropped all of the grub netboot support - why --without-curses? - the IA32_EMULATION warning is important on amd64. - the reiser4 patches break grub still. - your grub-set-default-1 patch seems either reversed or useless. Update ALL of this to be a patch implementing USE=efi on the existing grub legacy build please.

how Robbat wants to handle grub 1 is up to him ... maybe he will want a sep ebuild. but grub 2 isnt going to get its own. that's what Bug 308385 is for.
so i am closing it.
feel free to work on Bug 308385 then ... that needs love & attention
(In reply to comment #14) > feel free to work on Bug 308385 then ... that needs love & attention > yep its on my todo (real live needs some attention University) by the way one questions is it possible to wrap a inherit into a use flag ?
(In reply to comment #15) > by the way one questions is it possible to wrap a inherit into a use flag ? No, that would cause the global scope environment calculation to be different depending on the USE flag, which is prohibited.
