Re: grub2 with SPARC support available for testing

[John Paul Adrian Glaubitz <glaubitz@physik.fu-berlin.de>]

Hello!

A quick follow up since several people seem to have not read the
instructions carefully enough.

1) You have to use the version with the "+sparc64" suffix in the
   version number available from the "unreleased" repository.

   *This* is the correct version:

   root@deb4g:~# apt-cache policy grub2
   grub2:
     Installed: (none)
     Candidate: 2.02~beta3-3+sparc64
     Version table:
        2.02~beta3-3+sparc64 500
           500 http://ftp.ports.debian.org/debian-ports unreleased/main sparc64 Packages
   root@deb4g:~#

   The standard grub2 package from "unstable" does *not* include
   Eric's patches.

2) Please send any reports to *this* mailing list. Please do *not*
   send me any private mail. These issues are supposed to be discussed
   on the list and in public so others can see the discussion as well,
   including upstream developers.

Thanks,
Adrian
