[PATCH 0/2] Update GRUB to 2.12 |
|
Date: |
Mon, 3 Jun 2024 21:21:12 +0200 |
Hello Guix!
Following the discussion with Ada Stevenson¹ who reported that
the e2fsprogs upgrade to 1.47.0 broke system installation, here
is an upgrade of GRUB.
I tested it on x86_64-linux with:
./pre-inst-env guix build grub-efi{,32} grub-coreboot grub-hybrid
grub{,-minimal}
./pre-inst-env guix build grub --target=aarch64-linux-gnu
./pre-inst-env guix build grub --target=i586-pc-gnu
and:
make check-system TESTS="installed-os encrypted-root-os"
Feedback welcome!
Thanks,
Ludo'.
