Bits from the GRUB maintainers

Recommended Posts

 

Hi,

 

As you may have noticed, upgrades of the GRUB Legacy package (`grub')

in unstable have begun using GRUB 2 (`grub-pc' package) as upgrade

path. This means that tentatively, GRUB 2 is to be considered the

option for Lenny to Squeeze upgrades. It should also become the option

for new Squeeze installs.

 

This decision is not final yet! We're looking for feedback on this

transition. First and foremost, we need people to test GRUB 2 on their

machines and report any issues that they may find.

 

GRUB 2 features a cleaner design, and is much more robust than its

predecessor. Also, unlike GRUB Legacy it's under active development.

 

Nervertheless, we're aware that for a minority of users, upgrading is

not currently an option, because they rely on specific features of

GRUB Legacy that GRUB 2 doesn't provide. For those users, GRUB Legacy

will continue being supported, at least up untill the Squeeze release.

 

Your friendly GRUB maintainers,

 

Robert Millan

Felix Zielcke
