There is a really convenient service for open source project from Travis CI: They allow for free CI testing using their infrastructure. GRUB has had issues with broken builds for various targets for a long time already. The main reason is a lack of CI to just do smoke tests on whether all targets still at least compile. This patch adds a Travis config file which builds (almost) all currently available targets. On top of that, this Travis config also runs a small execution test on the x86_64-efi target. All of this config file can easily be extended further on. It probably makes sense to do something similar to the u-boot test infrastructure that communicates with the payload properly. Going forward, we also will want to do more QEMU runtime checks for other targets. Currently, with this config alone, I already see about half of the available targets as broken. So it's definitely desperately needed :). Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de> Reviewed-by: Daniel Kiper <daniel.kiper@oracle.com>
This is GRUB 2, the second version of the GRand Unified Bootloader. GRUB 2 is rewritten from scratch to make GNU GRUB cleaner, safer, more robust, more powerful, and more portable. See the file NEWS for a description of recent changes to GRUB 2. See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install the GRUB 2 data and program files. Please visit the official web page of GRUB 2, for more information. The URL is <http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/grub.html>. More extensive documentation is available in the Info manual, accessible using 'info grub' after building and installing GRUB 2. There are a number of important user-visible differences from the first version of GRUB, now known as GRUB Legacy. For a summary, please see: info grub Introduction 'Changes from GRUB Legacy'
