Changelog
grub2 (2.00-13) experimental; urgency=low
* Backport from upstream:
- Fix booting FreeBSD >= 9.1 amd64 kernels (closes: #699002).
* Merge from Ubuntu:
- Stop using the /usr/share/images/desktop-base/desktop-grub.png
alternative as the fallback background if GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR is
"Ubuntu".
- source_grub2.py: Use attach_default_grub from apport's hookutils.
- Output a menu entry for firmware setup on UEFI FastBoot systems.
- Set a monochromatic theme and an appropriate background for Ubuntu.
- Remove "GNU/Linux" from default distributor string for Ubuntu.
- Apply Ubuntu GRUB Legacy changes to legacy update-grub script.
- Apply patch from Fedora to add a "linuxefi" loader which boots kernels
with EFI handover patches, avoiding ExitBootServices.
- Temporarily make linuxefi refuse to validate kernels in the absence of
a shim, until we get some other details worked out.
- Automatically call linuxefi from linux if secure boot is enabled and
the kernel is signed, to hand over to the kernel without calling
ExitBootServices. Otherwise, linux will fall through to previous
code, call ExitBootServices itself, and boot the kernel normally.
- Generate configuration for signed UEFI kernels if available.
- On Ubuntu amd64, add a raw-uefi custom upload tarball for signing.
- Install signed images if available and UEFI Secure Boot is enabled.
- Add "splash" to default boot options on Ubuntu.
