Disable -Werror when error attribute generates warnings

Hi, With an older version of gcc that does not understand the error attribute, gcc generates warnings when compiling files that include include/grub/list.h. Since TARGET_CFLAGS contains -Werror by default, the build of modules fails. The following patch checks whether the C compiler support

commit script

Hi, I made this script for my own use. It automatically reads the latest entry in ChangeLog and uses it as log to make a commit. Carles said he wanted a copy, but I figured it could be useful to others, so here you are. -- Robert Millan "Be the change you want to see in the world" -- Gandh

change strings main window

Hi, Main window says "Press enter to boot the selected OS". Problems: a) not all entries are booting an OS (e.g. change colors) b) Grub usually loads a Kernel, not an OS c) (I thought to change because this one): some users maybe doesn't know what "OS" means Find a patch that re-words it a bit

Check for device type (block/character) in grub-setup?

Hi, I'm wondering why there is no check for device type (block/character) in grub-setup.c whereas the function probe() in grub-probe.c exits with error if the device is not of the expected type. Shouldn't there be a similar check in grub-setup? Currently, on NetBSD (with in-progress patches)
