Upgrade Gnulib files to 20190105. It's much easier to maintain GRUB's use of portability support files from Gnulib when the process is automatic and driven by a single configuration file, rather than by maintainers occasionally running gnulib-tool and committing the result. Removing these automatically-copied files from revision control also removes the temptation to hack the output in ways that are difficult for future maintainers to follow. Gnulib includes a "bootstrap" program which is designed for this. The canonical way to bootstrap GRUB from revision control is now "./bootstrap", but "./autogen.sh" is still useful if you just want to generate the GRUB-specific parts of the build system. GRUB now requires Autoconf >= 2.63 and Automake >= 1.11, in line with Gnulib. Gnulib source code is now placed in grub-core/lib/gnulib/ (which should not be edited directly), and GRUB's patches are in grub-core/lib/gnulib-patches/. I've added a few notes to the developer manual on how to maintain this. Signed-off-by: Colin Watson <cjwatson@ubuntu.com> Reviewed-by: Daniel Kiper <daniel.kiper@oracle.com> |

This is GRUB 2, the second version of the GRand Unified Bootloader. GRUB 2 is rewritten from scratch to make GNU GRUB cleaner, safer, more robust, more powerful, and more portable. See the file NEWS for a description of recent changes to GRUB 2. See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install the GRUB 2 data and program files. Please visit the official web page of GRUB 2, for more information. The URL is <http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/grub.html>. More extensive documentation is available in the Info manual, accessible using 'info grub' after building and installing GRUB 2. There are a number of important user-visible differences from the first version of GRUB, now known as GRUB Legacy. For a summary, please see: info grub Introduction 'Changes from GRUB Legacy'
