Last change on this file since ea3c5b5 was 5d1f0157, checked in by Bruce Dubbs <bdubbs@…>, 10 years ago

Added perl patch to fix CVE-2014-4330.

Update to grub-2.02~beta2. It's been in beta for over 9 months
and a 'stable' does not seem to be forthcoming.

Document glibc tests known to sometimes fail.
