GRUB, also known as the GRand Unified Bootloader, is a modular, portable bootloader that supports a number of platforms, including standard BIOS-bas= ed PCs, IEEE-1275 platforms (such as the OLPC and some PowerPC/Sparc64 hardwar= e) and coreboot, the free (as in freedom) pre-boot initialization framework. This is a bug-fix release for a number of problems (excerpt from NEWS file is attached) that were found after GRUB 1.97.1 was released. Most importantly, it fixes two problems with header files of BSD origin: - A number of header declarations had their copyright/license headers missing. They had been imported in GRUB Legacy many years ago, and recently found their way into the 1.97 release. Vladimir Serbinenko spotted this problem and fixed it by tracking down the header origin and adding the missing copyright and license. - In one of those cases (the bootinfo structure, used for booting the ker= nel of FreeBSD), the original license was the unrevised BSD license with advertisement clause [*], which made it impossible for 3rd parties to comply with GPL requirements and legally distribute GRUB. Again, Vladimir fixed this by rewriting the bootinfo struct declaration. [*] http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/bsd.html We apologize for the inconvenience; the GRUB project is very strict with license verification, even more with GRUB 2 than with GRUB Legacy, but in this case the problem was introduced very early in GRUB Legacy history. To the best of our knowledge, all issues are resolved now, but if you were = to find any other problem, please don't hesitate to contact grub-devel or mail me directly about it. A source tarball for the new release can be found at: http://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/grub/grub-1.97.2.tar.gz and its GPG detached signature [*]: http://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/grub/grub-1.97.2.tar.gz.sig [*] You can use either of the above signature file to verify that the corresponding file (without the .sig suffix) is intact. First, be sure to download both the .sig file and the corresponding tarball. Then, run a command like this: gpg --verify grub-1.97.2.tar.gz.sig If that command fails because you don't have the required public key, then run this command to import it: gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys DEA2C38E and rerun the `gpg --verify' command. This release was bootstrapped with the following tools: Autoconf 2.61 Ruby 1.8.7 GCC 4.4 is the recommended version for building it, although any version starting with 4.1.3 is supported in this release. --=20 Robert Millan "Be the change you want to see in the world" -- Gandhi --n8g4imXOkfNTN/H1 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=NEWS New in 1.97.2: * Fix a few 4 GiB limits. * Fix license problems with a few BSD headers. * Lots of misc bugfixes. --n8g4imXOkfNTN/H1-- --dc+cDN39EJAMEtIO Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: Digital signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJLXJNDAAoJELd1onhloKnOc1EP/29jId1mzum6+yX9ctzZODCR NiP/6WVVDj8Ez2DFTwavy0GypTK9itzfHF5tlq1NyrGVbBhvVX7g+m9C2FY2P3uI AmZQLWYxh7OaVmif3Lzb7y2pz2X9e0puAlhWTsEylse/7dhEvTYFVVUatHdVyhH/ mZWGqXpE0tajl5RX+42jtSpq04Mqz193/4qWvJO6Yf172im0bIV1y1rX0J9zsNdZ y2gHi6gQ8pqE+hgsYYTxEcPSlEywe+RT1204rGNlXE4Zaf3Pq8FyCsq2qs27GpAe trW0p//OOJlxlJW4al8wWP/C6cIig9fg6EwrsuhKQU71tOGESRl5j7z00pFclJ6T p38n7mjLr2ajlVGKnRmrFoQz8bN5JZ4o3VvSxILgqwWHrGAah2Tps4Ir0IriqsG7 NdqkthT0jojlo9VSKWrMCAVlaR2u5uT06h/spQZtgCmSUx6KryDxsc13Apdzdek0 poLUJt6SpoBMPRTlo1wtjHKDzx5x4AdlxzPMBKHrPDP3qjMK4iMmBQ9ILKuomjpZ CVKsAZ93MhV32JrS8et5cM5vHT//DZS8SYo2rA8VIpkla4bIphcdlHdozd/0oU6w lbgiTIIBo6ztGOosgiW5DRkkQP8ODGIkLWhiT6oqmw30t4pD+pwrSo59GJf4rFMk 5e3tnod3I7Z9ikaeyrXt =wIdM -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --dc+cDN39EJAMEtIO--
