MAKE SURE YOU ARE RUNNING THE LATEST VERSION
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The grub packages never update the installed version of GRUB
|
||
|
|
automatically, except if you choose a device in the debconf prompt
|
||
|
|
`GRUB install devices', which is currently only implemented for grub-pc.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Because of this, you need to make sure you're running the LATEST VERSION of
|
||
|
|
GRUB before you report a bug. Use grub-install to update it, and then check
|
||
|
|
if the bug still applies. Debugging problems we already fixed makes us waste
|
||
|
|
valuable time, so please try to avoid it.

IMPORTANT NOTE WHEN SUBMITTING PATCHES
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Like many other FSF projects, GRUB upstream has specific requirements for
|
||
|
|
accepting patches with regard to copyright assignment. If you're going to
|
||
|
|
submit a patch, it is likely that it will only be accepted in upstream if you're
|
||
|
|
willing to submit your paperwork as well.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Because of this, we want to avoid diverging from upstream by adding patches to
|
||
|
|
the Debian package unless we know the copyright issues can be sorted out. We
|
||
|
|
encourage you to submit your work to upstream directly by sending a mail to the
|
||
|
|
GRUB maintainers <grub-devel@gnu.org>.
