RE: Would it be possible to have a version of grub with all of Vladmir Testov's patches

[Gerard Butler]

Well I would like to see some of your gfxmenu patches, I was also wondering about patch for horizontal menus such as this one http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/grub-devel/2011-04/msg00083.html. I realize these are all aesthetics, and everyone is focused on technical patches.

Hi.

 

Most of the patches are included into the upstream.

 

Some patches weren't accepted and they should be slightly updated. Some of them are not adequate.

 

I think the only proper way is to wait untill I'll redo some patches that are not accepted yet. Then I'll sent them again to the mailing list. So the upstream version will contain proper and tested patches, which won't break anything.

 

Thanks for the attention.

 

Gerard, please tell me if there are some things which will make grub theming better. I'll see what I can do.

Whenever I've made themes for grub I always get asked to do certain things which aren't possible with stock grub, but would be possible with his patches applied that Vladmir Testov has written. I've watched the discussion and know some have their bugs, but I think it'd be nice to have a branch with these experimental theme features applied. I'm not suggesting a fork or anything (as what BURG was), just a way for people to have an easier way to play with those features, or some sort of experimental theme package that can be applied easily by users. Perhaps, there could even be a plugin of sorts that a user could just easily install.
