We need for compatibility: -o -? -d -k --output --rom-directory --xorriso --grub-glue-efi --grub-render-label --label-font --label-color --label-bgcolor --product-name --product-version --sparc-boot --arcs-boot --modules --install-modules --themes --fonts --locales --compress --core-compress --directory --override-directory --locale-directory --themes-directory --grub-mkimage --pubkey --verbose
Are any of those a problem? In future we can make a rule to add only options starting with --. We can add a test to ensure this. Do we need any other requirements to avoid clashes? > There are further incompatibilities between old and new > grub-mkrescue by the not yet implemented old options > --modules > --grub-mkimage > --override-directory > Will they be re-introduced ?
