A few nits:
- http is available: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/r/grub.git
- it is possible to add a hash for a git download; one just has to
generate it manually locally
autogen.sh is ugly, really ugly: there is no way we can do without it.
They run a bunch of python scripts to "import" a few things: unicode (?)
and glib.
Then the copy/move files around.
Then again call other python scripts top generate some files.
They eventually call autoreconf -fi.
Meh... :-(
Seing that, I withdraw my suggestion to use the latest sha1: please use
the latest release tarball...
Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
