Subject: How to test grub-install from git tree without "make install" ?
Date: Fri, 06 Jun 2025 11:15:53 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <25156484940533833495@scdbackup.webframe.org> (raw)
Hi,
i made a hopefully harmless change to grub-install-common.c in order to
avoid that backup files of /boot/grub/locale/*.mo get copied into
the resulting ISO image of grub-mkrescue when more than one
platform-target combination is configured. E.g. "x86_64-efi" together
with "i386-pc".
Begin of the thread which led to my change proposal:
"Duplicate files /boot/grub/locale/*.mo~ in iso file made by grub-mkrescue"
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-grub/2025-05/msg00028.html
The change in question is in
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-grub/2025-06/msg00000.html
All my experiments with grub-mkrescue look like i did not damage
the backup functionality which old grub-mkrescue shares with
grub-install. Nevertheless i should test grub-install directly.
But i fail to find the word "grub-install" in GRUB's "./tests" tree.
Are there examples available how to test grub-install from the git tree
as sandbox user without endangering the system's bootably-installed
GRUB ?
Have a nice day :)
Thomas
