It used to work the way which is still in the docs. See http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/grub.git/tree/util/grub-mkrescue.in?id=2.00 Its arguments are interpreted by while test $# -gt 0 do ... case "$option" in ... *) source="${source} ${option} $@"; break ;; esac done I.e the unrecognized arguments are added to the list of source files which is later submitted to the xorriso -as mkisofs emulation: # build iso image "${xorriso}" -as mkisofs ... ${source} Among the xorriso arguments, the "--" has the effect that xorriso will leave mkisofs emulation and interpret the following arguments as its native commands and their parameters. But the new C code obviously thinks too much when seeing single-dash arguments, which it should handle as xorriso arguments. And it eats "--". At least if it is the first non-mkrescue argument. So: What argument interpretation behavior is grub-mkrescue 2.02 supposed to show ? The one that is currently documented and matches grub-mkrescue.in of 2.00 ? Or the one that is result of using grub-core/gnulib/argp-parse.c ? The latter would need to be explored and documented, then. Have a nice day :) Thomas _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
