• ExperimentalBranch

This page describes the experimental branch of GNU GRUB. It's a bit of a skel right now (feel free to improve it).

The experimental branch is a staging area where less tested (or more intrusive) changes are put before they are merged into trunk. Vladimir Serbinenko is in charge of this branch.

Initial announcement:

• http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/grub-devel/2009-10/msg00343.html

• http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/grub-devel/2009-10/msg00510.html

Source code can be obtained via:

• bzr checkout http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/r/grub/branches/experimental

or (members only):

• bzr checkout sftp://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/srv/bzr/grub/branches/experimental

GRUB developers: If you want your branch to be merged into experimental, include a complete ChangeLog entry in a separate file (ChangeLog.<branch-name>), push it to /branches/<branch-name> and then seek approval from Vladimir (or from one of the maintainers) to have it merged.

GRUB users: If you're brave, you can help the GRUB project by trying it out! Pre-packaged snapshots are provided regularly:

• For Debian: http://packages.debian.org/source/experimental/grub2

• For Ubuntu: https://launchpad.net/~fzielcke/+archive/grub-ppa
