- MAKE SURE YOU ARE RUNNING THE LATEST VERSION
-
- The grub packages never updates the installed version of GRUB
- automatically, except if you choose a device in the debconf prompt
- `GRUB install devices', which is currently only implemented for grub-pc.
-
- Because of this, you need to make sure you're running the LATEST VERSION of
- GRUB before you report a bug. Use grub-install to update it, and then check
- if the bug still applies. Debugging problems we already fixed makes us waste
- valuable time, so please try to avoid it.

- IMPORTANT NOTE WHEN SUBMITING PATCHES
-
- Like many other FSF projects, GRUB upstream has specific requisites for
- accepting patches with regard to copyright assignment. If you're going to
- submit a patch, it is likely that it will only be accepted in upstream if you're
- willing to submit your paperwork as well.
-
- Because of this, we want to avoid diverging from upstream by adding patches to
- the debian package unless we know the copyright issues can be sorted out. We
- encourage you to submit your work to upstream directly by sending a mail to the
- GRUB maintainers <grub-devel@gnu.org>.
