Package: grub-common
Version: 1.98~20100115-1
Severity: normal
On grub-common on i386 and amd64, the synopsis for grub-mkrescue is:
grub-mkrescue [OPTION] SOURCE...
on powerpc, the synopsis appears to be:
grub-mkrescue [OPTION] output_image
This makes it difficult to invoke grub-mkrescue consistently across
supported architectures (e.g. in scripts to build rescue CDs, etc)
note: the current grub-mkrescue synopsis used to be used on i386 and
amd64, but it appears to have changed in the last few months. I'm not
sure why powerpc didn't change at the same time.
If there could be one standard calling convention across
architectures, that would make the tool much more useful.
Thanks for grub!
