Uploaded pv-grub-menu to NEW.
Dear all,
I just uploaded pv-grub-menu to the NEW queue. This package borrows from the
grub-legacy package the scripts to create and manage the file
/boot/grub/menu.lst. Here are its description and the contents of
README.Debian.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Description: Creates a menu.lst file for PV-GRUB
PV-GRUB is a utility of the vitualisation platform Xen, to boot virtual
machines with their own kernel. This package maintains a configuration file in
/boot/grub/menu.lst, that is read by PV-GRUB. It does nothing else, which
means that it is not suitable for booting non-virtual systems.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
At its installation, this package runs 'update-menu-lst' to create a 'menu.lst'
file in '/boot/grub/' in order to make the system bootable by PV-GRUB. It also
runs 'update-menu-lst' each time a kernel package is installed or removed.
'update-menu-lst' is derived from 'update-grub' in the grub-legacy package and
has some options in common, in particular 'groot' and 'kopt' that can be edited
in '/boot/grub/menu.lst' and applied by running 'update-menu-lst' again. See
the manual page update-menu-lst(8) for details.
This package does not contain GRUB and does not modify the master boot record.
Install grub-pc or one of the other GRUB 2 binary packages if you need this.
This package conflicts with grub-legacy as both packages modify
'/boot/grub/menu.lst'. Systems where grub-legacy is installed do not need
pv-grub-menu.
This package is for systems where GRUB can not or should not be installed, but
that need an up-to-date '/boot/grub/menu.lst' file. It provides and conflicts
with Ubuntu's grub-legacy-ec2 package, that it aims to replace.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
It source is managed with Git in Alioth's collab-maint project.
