Move of update-grub and grub-install to /usr/sbin
Hello,
I plan to upload a group of changes to grub and grub-installer to
move update-grub and grub-install to /usr/sbin/.
For this to happen, my transition plan is described bellow:
- A new grub package would be uploaded to unstable having a group of
wrappers that will call /usr/sbin utilities but warn the user to
edit his/her /etc/kernel-img.conf. That keeps backward
compatibility with previous kernels and will be in place until Etch
is released,
- A NEWS.Debian entry describing the change in grub would be add too,
- grub-installer would have a change to don't use full paths in
kernel-img.conf entries _but_ this one need to migrate to etch
together with linux-2.6 2.6.17-6 OR new installations will be
broken.
RM team, is ok to me go forward with it?
