Bug#631487: grub-imageboot: please adapt or document seemingly random usage of the option "raw"

2011-06-24 Thread Carsten Hey
Package: grub-imageboot Severity: wishlist Currently, there is only one google hit for „"rawimg" linux16"” (a copy of grub-imageboot's extracted source code) and all documentation I was able to find, including your blog entry, uses "raw" instead. Thus, I assume the below quoted line is just a typ

Package: grub-imageboot Severity: wishlist If a user sets IMAGEOPTS to an empty string, grub-imageboot sets it to the default value "rawimg". I think if a user decides to explicitly set a configuration variable to any value, this decision should be respected. In my refactored grub-imageboot, fix

Package: developers-reference Severity: wishlist Recently a bug (#631830) was found that was caused by relocating a binary from /usr/sbin to /sbin without adapting an other package that uses an hardcoded path to this binary (in /etc/sudoers.d/). As far as I know, a compatibility symlink would not
