grub2: move usage notes to package readme.txt

2017-07-16T13:25:27+00:00

As discussed in the mailing list, grub2 usage notes were growing too big for a Config.in documentation, and so it was agreed that a readme.txt in the package directory is a better place to put them. This commit simply moves the documentation as-is to preserve the original contents as they were in Config.in which can be worked on in further commits.

grub2: bump up version

2017-07-16T12:55:33+00:00

After many years since the last release and a long time with grub 2.02 in beta, there is finally a release and it brings many bug fixes and interesting features such as support for ARM. Patch boot/grub2/0001-remove-gets.patch doesn't seem to be required anymore as grub-core/gnulib/stdio.in.h has changed significantly since "053cfcd Import new gnulib." and has another treatment for gets. Patch boot/grub2/0002-grub-core-gettext-gettext.c-main_context-secondary_c.patch was a backport which is present after the bump and therefore is also no longer necessary. Since we're adding a Config.in comment, we also introduce a BR2_TARGET_GRUB2_ARCH_SUPPORTS hidden boolean, in order to avoid repeating the architecture dependencies.

bootlader/grub2: disable x86-64-efi choice on !BR2_ARCH_IS_64

2015-02-03T11:05:53+00:00

When x86-64-efi platform is selected, grub2 automatically adds -m64 to the CFLAGS. This makes the configure script failed when the toolchain does not have multilib support (like the Buildroot ones).

grub2: fix a few minor issues in help text

2014-07-15T18:09:11+00:00

The help text of grub2 explains the detailed steps to create a disk image with grub2 installed on it. However, the steps for the BIOS-based systems have a few minor issues fixed by this patch: - When calling partx to get the partitions detected, we should do it on the /dev/loop0 block device, and not on the underlying disk.img image file. - The grub-bios-setup utility must be called as root to work properly on /dev/loop0. - The steps to cleanup the partx and loop device were missing.
