Grub2 has been masked a while ago, due to the lack of docummentation. However, during first install it is installing and configuring it nearly automatically. There is even no need to edit /boot/grub2/grub.cfg as created by system configuration file works properly. Also, the ebuild informs users about web page, where they can find additional information. To be honest, the only thing i needed to do was to write "grub2-install --no-floppy /dev/sda". Due to that, in my opinion, the installation & configuration of grub2 is even faster and easier than grub 0.9x (legacy) and i think, it can be unmasked. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. echo "sys-boot/grub" >> /etc/portage/package.unmask 2. emerge grub 3. grub2-install --no-floppy /dev/sda Actual Results: Everything working correctly, w/o any needs to do anything else. Expected Results: As actual result, so in my opinion you can unmask it.
The maintainers will unmask the package when they deem it ready.
