I looked for more information on GRUB form upstream but, on first |
2 |
impression, it's been an abandoned project since 2012... Apparently some |
3 |
users have posted patches to things like the invalid sector size problem |
4 |
but the project has been deaf to these problems and has done nothing |
5 |
whatsoever. =( |

I thought maybe I could go simple and use something like elilo, The |
8 |
manual was written in moonspeak, it was very missleading and had lots of |
9 |
omissions, and misdirection. I downloaded the 2,200 page specification |
10 |
for EFI an quickly came to realize that the Elilo documentation was a |
11 |
geyser of bullshit. I think it's going to be my new standard example of |
12 |
how awful linux documentation is. |
13 |

14 |
Seriously, It deserves a few hundred more pages of ragging, and flaming, |
15 |
and rage-ing but I've got a piece of junk to boot. =| |

I don't know where Gentoo is getting it's source for Grub... |

Apparently the git version of Grub was abandoned in 2015, as far as I |
22 |
can tell... I'm trying to build it from source. As is appropriate the |
23 |
git repository doesn't have the git scripts, I tried running autoreconf |
24 |
on it but got error messages... |
25 |
|
26 |
I cleared a few of them but I'm like: |

|

Is there a way to ebuild a "grub-git" and produce a grub install with |
39 |
version = date of most recent commit on active fork? |
