Fedora Update Notification
FEDORA-2011-16975
2011-12-11 21:22:08
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : grub2
Product : Fedora 16
Version : 1.99
Release : 13.fc16
URL : http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/
Summary : Bootloader with support for Linux, Multiboot and more
Description :
The GRand Unified Bootloader (GRUB) is a highly configurable and customizable
bootloader with modular architecture. It support rich varietyof kernel formats,
file systems, computer architectures and hardware devices.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
This update fixes several bugs. It fixes a hardcoded call to 'grub-probe' - which
does not exist in Fedora - in the /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober script, which broke grub's
auto-detection of OS X installs. It updates various documentation for the slightly
different names used for some files in Fedora. It fixes an error in the spec file which
meant the package was not being build with Fedora's standard compiler flags. It
changes the default contents of the /etc/default/grub file to be more similar to the file
as written by the Fedora installer. Many of these changes were contributed by Mads
Kiilerich.
For testers: as this is a sensitive component, please try and test it thoroughly. Testing
that it works as expected with new kernel installs, during installation (by enabling the
updates-testing repository during a network installation), when running grub2-mkconfig and
grub2-install, and after doing a yum upgrade from Fedora 15 will be valuable.

ChangeLog:

* Mon Nov 7 2011 Peter Jones <pjones(a)redhat.com> - 1.99-12
- Lots of .spec fixes from Mads Kiilerich:
Remove comment about update-grub - it isn't run in any scriptlets

fix references to grub/grub2 renames in info pages (#743964)
update README.Fedora (#734090)
fix comments for the hack for upgrading from grub2 < 1.99-4
fix sed syntax error preventing use of $RPM_OPT_FLAGS (#704820)
make /etc/grub2*.cfg %config(noreplace)
make grub.cfg %ghost - an empty file is of no use anyway
create /etc/default/grub more like anaconda would create it (#678453)
don't create rescue entries by default - grubby will not maintain them anyway
set GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT=true so saved defaults works (rbhz#732058)
grub2-efi should have its own bash completion
don't set gfxpayload in efi mode - backport upstream r3402
