 |
|
Accidentally found out today there are duplicate files in /boot/grub/locale/ dir of minimal installation iso, occupying 5.5MB of space. Or is there any reason to have there the *.mo~ files? Ordinary grub install have only *.mo files in that directory.
| Code: | renergy ~ # losetup -Pf install-amd64-minimal-20250518T165514Z.iso
renergy ~ # losetup
NAME SIZELIMIT OFFSET AUTOCLEAR RO BACK-FILE DIO LOG-SEC

It seems to be an issue with grub itself. catalyst, which makes isos, uses grub-mkrescue. If I invoke grub-mkrescue separately, I also get those duplicates (backup files) in the created .iso file

By the way, for the grub-mkrescue command to work, dev-libs/libisoburn and sys-fs/mtools have to be manually installed (to provide xorriso and mformat commands); these packages are not in the dependencies of grub's ebuild, which is a bug in itself.
EDIT: Not a bug, my bad. On the first install of the grub, emerge informs about the neccessity to install those
/var/log/portage/elog/summary.log
| Code: | Install additional packages for optional runtime features:
...
dev-libs/libisoburn for creating rescue media (grub-mkrescue)
