[Buildroot] grub: bad url

[Buildroot] grub: bad url

[Daniel Lerch]

Hi,

Grub don't work because the url:

http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/g/grub/grub_0.97-35.diff.gz

is not correct


$ cat target/x86/grub/grub.mk | grep diff
GRUB_PATCH:=grub_0.97-35.diff.gz


Please, check it.

You are welcome to submit a patch. (That'd be more helpful than
demanding a solution.)

Suggestions include
1. Getting that same version from snapshot.debian.net instead, eg
http://snapshot.debian.net/archive/2008/03/29/debian/pool/main/g/grub/grub_0.97-35.diff.gz

2. Updating to a newer version. -47 looks like being in the next Debian
release, so that should be good for 18 months or so.
http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/g/grub/grub_0.97-47.diff.gz
In this case the rest of our package may also need amendment.

Thanks,
Hamish

"not correct" is not really accurate. "Not available anymore", yes.

And you could flesh out grub2 support in addition to updating (and
verifying, rediffing) grub1..
