2021-05-15	Meta: Bump BIOS/MBR boot partition size of grub disk image to 1MiB	Linus Groh
	As of ~April 2021 the Meta/build-image-grub.sh script no longer works for me (on Fedora 34) and fails with the following error: /usr/sbin/grub2-install: warning: ../grub-core/partmap/msdos.c:403: your core.img is unusually large. It won't fit in the embedding area. /usr/sbin/grub2-install: warning: Embedding is not possible. GRUB can only be installed in this setup by using blocklists. However, blocklists are UNRELIABLE and their use is discouraged.. /usr/sbin/grub2-install: error: will not proceed with blocklists. Changing the size of the boot partition from 32 kiB to 1 MiB (2048 sectors) fixes the issue. This is also described in the following Ubuntu grub2 bug (as well as 40 duplicates!) from 2012, which suggests the same fix: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1059827 The Arch Linux wiki also uses 1 MiB in their BIOS/MBR examples for parted: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Parted I'm not sure why this suddenly stopped working, however I was able to boot with an image created with this change applied.

	Oops. I didn't know there was a style guide for the scripts.
2020-07-28	Meta: Calculate image size based on size of Build/Root and Base	Peter Elliott
	This reduces the size of the default build, while allowing people to install as many ports as they want, without having to manually specify disk size.
2020-06-21	Meta: default SUDO_UID and SUDO_GID to 0 in build-image-*.sh scripts	Emanuele Torre
	In the GNU coreutils version of chown, ":" is a valid argument (the command will result in a no-op), but POSIX chown does not consider that valid. If the user who ran build-image-*.sh was root, SUDO_UID and SUDO_GID would not be set and, if the version of chown installed on the system did not allow passing just a ":" as argument, the script would fail. Let's default the value of SUDO_UID and SUDO_GID to 0 just in case.

2020-05-28	Build: Use a separate byproduct name for the GRUB disk image (#2424)	etaIneLp
	The grub-image target no longer conflicts with normal image target. This unbreaks using CMake with Ninja. Fixes #2423.
