After various delays with various cause I'm proud to announce the availability of Colin's gfxmenu into experimental branch of grub2. Experimental branch is a bzr branch available at http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/r/grub/branches/experimental/ and of which I was appointed as developper in charge. It's use is to hold the code which needs testing or various fixes before being merged in mainstream but is generally good. Let's hope it will accelerate developpement avoid the code being put on hold too long and (together with bazaar) enhance collaboration. gfxmenu is a project done by Colin D Bennett during Google Summer of Code 2008 edition for adding GUI menu support for GRUB2. More infos are available at http://grub.gibibit.com/ Google Summer of Code is an event sponsored and organised by Google with aim to promote Free Software developpement by paying students for implementing goals approved by various Free Software projects. Known issues with gfxmenu: 1) It's slow. At least in qemu. More things are repainted than really nee= ded 2) Menus aren't multi-resolutin adapted. We probably need the ability to specify coordinates in percents of width/height rather than in pixels Example menu is available at http://grub.gibibit.com/files/overlay_2009-07-19.tar.gz . It's not yet decided whether central repository for themes will be created. GRUB developpers kindly request you to test experimental branch and report any bugs. Ideas and patches are of course welcome. But please retain from comments on what should be our priorities since developers spend their free time on what they feel is interesting/funny/useful. If you really want something to be done you have only 3 ways to do it: 1) Do it yourself. Patches are welcome. 2) Hire someone to do it. Many grub2 developpers including myself accept paid jobs in Free Software. 3) Forbid your kids to do it. New generation of Free Software devs is welcome --=20 Regards Vladimir '=CF=86-coder/phcoder' Serbinenko --------------enig38E1FA1E5EBEF6EA7A3398F2 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iF4EAREKAAYFAksHFZcACgkQNak7dOguQgmNOgEAmLMfMt3zDlGtq3GyEQ3Vefh5 RAGo0OqBHCM8GcdMYl8A/Ra9h3uiRgPA3bF0OqB90lmSJ3/lG4/z5K9+48vksp8X =y/fx -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig38E1FA1E5EBEF6EA7A3398F2--
