New upstream beta version (with relevant additions and fixes), also got
fixes from coreboot, fedora, suse, gentoo, ubuntu, made further
additions and improvements to packaging, readme and grub2 configuration,
I also did some tests on PCs in these weeks and is generally better than
the current version on stable/testing/unstable. The experimental
multiboot is still bugged (on my tests) after the patch from coreboot
(for different problem) but it was also before (on
stable/testing/unstable packages), and as being disabled by default I
don't think I should delay a possible upload on experimental yet given
the numerous fixes that this build includes.
I suppose you should ITA the package. Want to take this responsibility?
Changes since the last upload:
memtest86+ (5.31b-1) experimental; urgency=medium
.
[ Fabio Fantoni ]
* QA upload.
As you have left out the changes from c1cf11ee824384a63f961a59299a9666d8ed6a45 to the release of -4,
this is not really a QA upload. Please include the changes including the Maintainer change.
* New upstream version 5.31b (Closes: #989030, #977217)
* Merge from ubuntu:
- Use elf version by default that should works on major of system.
- Drop the multiboot image from the GRUB menu for now, since it's
experimental and has known problems detecting all memory on some
systems at the moment.
- Support localization of GRUB menu entries.
- Don't present in GRUB menu on EFI systems, since it won't work.
(Closes: #695246)
- Close FD 3 when invoking update-grub.
* Warn that don't support EFI instead of exit silently (LP: 1863940)
Please improve the English here. (Warn that EFI is not supported ...)?
* Don't add grub2 entries if GRUB_DISABLE_MEMTEST=true is present
in /etc/default/grub (LP: #420967)
