partly lost in some adjustments that were made to the submitted work,
which was focused on restoring the 'start installer' entry.
there is no need for dynamic setting of these two `source` imports in the
default file, in fact user modifications should also use the fixed import
commands in future.
note that the old placeholders however remain replaced, which inject
precisely this string, for backwards compatibility.
Gbp-Dch: Ignore
* Use same menu labels
* Use same hotkeys
* Get rid of a nested menu that is not present in grub
* Add "menu title" statement to hide the caret of the hotkey (^)
don't include the advanced menu at all if it's only entry - memtest - is
not included (you just get a menu entry that does nothing, which may
confused users into thinking that something is broken, as opposed to
showing an empty submenu as i expected).
Gbp-Dch: Short
backwards compatibility:
1. the new file will be included alongside any user custom config
2. rather than replace MEMTEST with an actual config entry, we replace it
with a line to import the content of the new file, and thus will work
just as before.
thus no backwards compatible breakage
Gbp-Dch: Short
this takes a step forward in moving towards the same updated layout as
with syslinux; here we get:
- <live entries>
- Start installer
- Advanced install options...
- <full set of install options>
- Advanced options...
- Memory Diagnostic Tool (memtest86[+])
note that this only affects the default menu. custom configs are not
affected by this change.
further steps to complete the move to the updated layout will follow
later.
"Advanced options..." should perhaps be renamed later.
Gbp-Dch: Short
...for consistency with syslinux config placeholders and improved
clarity of what text is a placeholder.
the old placeholders without the bookends are still replaced for
user configs for backwards compatibility.
the new ones are little used just at the moment but are expected to
become used much more in later commits.
Gbp-Dch: Short
Current splash makes it very difficult to read menu entries.
Black as a background color is actually interpreted as transparent,
so switching to something else so the highlighted menu entry can be
read more easily.
Gbp-Dch: Short
* Use only long kernel names.
* Put advanced options in a submenu.
* Use distro-agnostic labels.
* Don't generate entries with kernel version when we have a single
version.
