[ Reason ]
memtest86+ 5.01-3.1 in stable is very old and doestn't run correctly
on recent hardware.
[ Impact ]
Fail to run memtest86+ on their hardware.
[ Tests ]
manually tested.
[ Risks ]
Completely rewritten from scratch. So could have bugs not yet known.
[ Checklist ]
[X] *all* changes are documented in the d/changelog
[X] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
[X] attach debdiff against the package in (old)stable
[X] the issue is verified as fixed in unstable
[ Changes ]
Comeplete new upstream version.
Rewritten GRUB integration scripts.
New ISO/USB bootable Images.
[ Other info ]
I requested a backport [1] but Thomas Goirand (zigo) recommend me to ask you for a
complete update in stable [2].
If this will be rejected, I recommend to remove memtest86+ from stable
and hopefully somebody uploads the new version to backports.
As a DM I can't do this myself.
