Name        : grubby
Product     : Fedora 19
Version     : 8.28
Release     : 1.fc19
URL         : http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/grubby.git
Summary     : Command line tool for updating bootloader configs
Description :
grubby  is  a command line tool for updating and displaying information about
the configuration files for the grub, lilo, elilo (ia64),  yaboot (powerpc)
and zipl (s390) boot loaders. It is primarily designed to be used from scripts
which install new kernels and need to find information about the current boot
environment.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

This adds the ability for grubby to deal with grub2's "saved_entry" variables.

Test procedure:

1) update grubby to this version

2) create a new grub.cfg as root:
   grub2-mkconfig -o /path/to/grub/config
3) install a new kernel

4) verify that the grub config still has 'set default=${saved_entry}"

5) verify /boot/grub2/grubenv has saved_entry set to the new kernel
