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.

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.

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...

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) gentoo-dev

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) gentoo-dev

Reassigning to maintainer-needed@gentoo.org

Mass reassign of bugs on orphaned packages to appropriate assignee.

seemant was mistaken about robmoss being missing forever

he showed up somewhat recently and started working on grub again

dirtyepic !seen robmoss
GenBot robmoss was last seen 31 weeks, 5 days, 4 hours, 3 minutes and 25 seconds
ago, saying '-bash: syntax error near unexpected token `)'' in #gentoo-dev.
