I'd be glad to, if I knew how. :P > What's the repo for grub? > From typing in svn-bisect, I'm guessing, I have to do a checkout, then > svn-bisect start, then svn-bisect good 2488, then svn-bisect 2549? > And yes, step-by-step instructions is probably what I need. :P Upstream's repo is: svn://svn.sv.gnu.org/grub/trunk/grub2 Then either get the Debian source package and copy over the debian/ directory or follow the steps in the Debian wiki to check it out from our Debian repository: http://wiki.debian.org/de/GRUB2/Anleitung/DebianPaketVonOriginalQuelltext I also suggest to edit debian/control and remove every package you don't need, i.e. keep first block, grub-common and grub-pc and remove everything else, else it needs very long to build. And then use svn-bisect like you said. > > ______________________________________________________________________ -- Felix Zielcke Proud Debian Maintainer -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
