Can something be done about it for Hardy perhaps?

[William Grant (wgrant)]

It will be merged when somebody gets around to it, as I'm sure you well know.

[Tormod Volden (tormodvolden)]

The debdiff is based on the merge from http://dad.dunnewind.net/grub2/

The patch looks good, but can you check with Jeff Bailey <email address hidden> if we still have to carry over the ubuntu change (disabling of the stack protector)?
Please resubscribe u-u-s when you have a confirmation (or otherwise).

Thanks!

In which case, we can just sync the package.

[Tormod Volden (tormodvolden)]

For the sync request:
The only Ubuntu change was the debian/patches/10_disable-stack-protector.patch which is no longer needed.

[Cesare Tirabassi (norsetto)]

Sync request ack'ed to Archive.
