Hello,
The Grml-invented loopback.cfg has become a de facto standard, used in a
number of other Linux distributions on their ISOs. This is great,
though I wanted a way to easily take a directory of compatible ISOs and
build grub2 stanzas. I've got an open ITP (#693774) for a package named
grub-loopback-iso, but recently found that the grml-rescueboot package
is perfectly capable of booting non-Grml loopback.cfg-compatible ISOs,
though you wouldn't know that from the package.
I'd like to propose genericizing the package, renaming it to and merging
it with my generic grub-loopback-iso, while providing a transtional
grml-rescueboot package. The grub.d hook itself will continue to
provide backwards compatibility with existing grml-rescueboot
configurations (/boot/grml and /etc/default/grml-rescueboot).
A proposed merge against:
http://git.grml.org/?p=grml-rescueboot.git
is at:
https://github.com/rfinnie/grub-loopback-iso
A more thorough explanation of the changes is in the commit message.
(Full disclosure: I am the author of Finnix, technically a competitor to
Grml, so genericizing this package is in my/Finnix's best interests.)
