If we have some grub-legacy and some grub2 installs,
why would you do that?
Eventually, grub2 will be all that's available from portage. At that
point, I can either,
1) Install grub2 on some machines.
2) Maintain grub-legacy (and install media) myself.
i really don't think thats the way its going to be. i think there will
be grub and grub2 in portage potentially forever. like with python 2 and 3.
even if not, 2) takes you one cp command and a little bit of disk space
for the grub tarball.
have a look at the link i posted. if you really want to keep it simple,
grub2 can be configured with a single grub.cfg file.
How much work would it be for you to,
* Learn grub2
if you're ok with the single .cfg: done.
* Travel to my office here in Baltimore
first class flight please.
* Test it on all combinations of hardware that we currently run
* Document the standard config and any special cases
ok.
* Upgrade a bunch of my servers at 4am?
why not choose a convenient time to upgrade?
If you still think it's "not much" then I'd be happy to have you do it
while I drink margaritas.
no, i still don't think its as much of a big deal as you make of it.
about as much work as a kernel upgrade. let's wait for grub2 to go
stable before you send me that ticket ;)
