The grub maintainer's stance was that reiser 4 support would not be |
14 |
included in grub until it was included in gentoo-sources, not any kernel |
15 |
in portage. The grub maintainer has been AWOL for the last 9 months or |
16 |
so however, so i guess it's now up to the base-system herd. I was under |
17 |
the impression that feature-adding patches should be sent upstream. |
