Hello All!
Here are a few patches to bump and enhance syslinux:
- patches 1..4: preparatory fixing and cleanup patches
- patches 5..6: new pacakges, dependency of the new syslinux
- patch 7 : actual syslinux bump
- patches 8..9: new options to install new types of blobs
To be noted, the syslinx build system is, well, a bit weird, to say
the least. There is I hope extensive-enough information about this
in the bump-patch. Please pay it a bit of attention, it is really
convoluted, and would benefit from some in-depth review.
Thanks to Frank for his preliminary work on ucl and upx, and to
Thomas L. whose extlinux patch prompted me to look at syslinux. ;-)
Changes v2 -> v3:
- install syslinux files in sub-dir of images/ (Romain)
- install syslinux .c32 modules (Romain)
- typoes
Changes v1 -> v2:
- explain the need for an ia32 compiler (Arnout)
- make the image selection a choice (Arnout)
- improve upx commit log (Arnout)
- typoes (Arnout)
- improve help entry for the mbr option
Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
