Description of problem: Few issues with grub2-tools info and man. 1. grub2-mkstandalone man/info pages do not explain the 'SOURCE...' option. 2. grub2-mkstandalone will generate a large 8M image for grubx64-efi format by default which is slow to transfer over TFTP (see #1314744). Maybe we should explicitly recommend compression or drop some hints via example(s). 3. The following use a man3 template which is bit confusing. man 1 grub2-mkstandalone man 1 grub2-mkfont man 1 grub2-mklayout man 1 grub2-mknetdir man 1 grub2-mkpasswd-pbkdf2 4. The grub2-mknetdir command is not documented anywhere. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): grub2-tools-2.02-0.25.fc23.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: N/A Actual results: Expected results: 1. Please explain the important 'SOURCE...' option for grub2-mkstandalone. 2. Consider recommending compression for EFI-network boot images. 3. Fix the man page metadata. 4. Update the grub2-mknetdir info/man documentation to explain usage/goals. Additional info:
Just to clarify this is ticket on documentation not functionality.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 25 development cycle. Changing version to '25'.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 25 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 25. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '25'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 25 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 25 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2017-12-12. Fedora 25 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
