This was put there before for users upgrading from libreboot r5
to r6, but also allows the user to flash the wrong image. For
example, the user could flash a T60 image on an X60, thus
bricking the machine. It's almost certain that most people
have upgraded by now, so remove this potentially dangerous
option.
If a user is upgrading from r5 to the latest version now,
then they can simply use flashrom directly.

backgrounds/fonts (not useful anymore, now that GRUB is in
text-mode).
- Added resources/utilities/i945-pwm/ (from

machines.
- Added instructions for it in builddeps, builddeps-i945pwm,
builddeb and cleandeps
- 'build' script: removed the parts that generated sha512sum manifests
(not needed, since release tarballs are GPG-signed)

directory (not needed anymore, since _meta will be hosted in git)
- Updated ../docs/index.html#build_meta (and other parts of
documentation) to accomodate this change.
- Documentation: simplified (refactored) the notes in
../docs/index.html#rom
- 'build' script: removed the parts that generated libreboot_bin and
added them to a new script: 'build-release'

above.
- Removed 'sudo' from builddeb, builddeb-flashrom, powertop.trisquel6
and builddeb-bucts scripts (assuming that the user has it is a
really bad idea).
- Added all gcry_* modules to grub (luks/cryptomount): gcry_arcfour
gcry_camellia gcry_crc gcry_dsa gcry_md4 gcry_rfc2268 gcry_rmd160
gcry_seed gcry_sha1 gcry_sha512 gcry_twofish gcry_blowfish
gcry_cast5 gcry_des gcry_idea gcry_md5 gcry_rijndael gcry_rsa
gcry_serpent gcry_sha256 gcry_tiger gcry_whirlpool
- Added GNUtoo's list of GRUB modules (includes all of the gcry_*
modules above), cryptomount should be working now.
- Removed builddeb-bucts and builddeb-flashrom, merged them with
builddeb (../docs/index.html updated accordingly)
- Removed buildpac-bucts and buildpac-flashrom, merged them with
buildpac (../docs/index.html updated accordingly)
- Renamed builddeb to deps-trisquel (../docs/index.html updated
accordingly)
- Renamed buildpac to deps-parabola (../docs/index.html updated
accordingly)
- Documentation: removed all parts talking about build dependencies,
replaced them with links to ../docs/index.html#build_dependencies
- Documentation: emphasized more strongly on the documentation, the
need to re-build bucts and/or flashrom before flashing a ROM image.
- build-release: flashrom, nvramtool, cbfstool and bucts are no longer
provided pre-compiled in binary archives, and are now in source form
only. (to maximize distro compatibility).
- Documentation: added ../docs/howtos/encrypted_trisquel.html showing
how to setup a fully encrypted Trisquel installation (including
/boot) and boot it from the GRUB payload.
- 'build' script: replaced grub.elf assembly instructons, it's now
handled by a utility added under resources/utilities/grub-assemble

and unmodified layouts.

- Documentation: updated ../docs/index.html#rom to reflect the above
- Deleted unused README and COPYING file from main directory
- Removed some rm -rf .git* instructions from the get* scripts and
moved them to build-release script
- Split up default grub.cfg into 6 parts:
extra/{common.cfg,txtmode.cfg,vesafb.cfg} and
menuentries/{common.cfg,txtmode.cfg,vesafb.cfg}
- buildrom-withgrub script uses these to generate the correct
grub.cfg for each type of configuration.
- grub_memdisk.cfg (used inside grub.elf) now only loads grub.cfg from
cbfs. It no longer enables serial output or sets
prefix. (menuentries/common.cfg does instead)
- resources/grub/config/extra/common.cfg, added:
- insmod instructions to load those modules: nativedisk, ehci, ohci,
uhci, usb, usbserial_pl2303, usbserial_ftdi, usbserial_usbdebug
- set prefix=(memdisk)/boot/grub
- For native graphics (recommended by coreboot wiki):
- gfxpayload=keep
- terminal_output --append gfxterm
- Play a beep on startup:
- play 480 440 1

debian-installer (Trisquel net install) to
../docs/howtos/grub_boot_installer.html

2nd beta was listed as being in year 2016, when in actual fact it
was 2014.

- Reduced the number of grub configs to 2 (or 1, for macbook21), the
build scripts now generate the other configs at build time.
- Deleted build-x60, build-x60t, build-t60, build-macbook21 and
replaced with intelligent (generic) buildrom-withgrub script
- Updated build to use buildrom-withgrub script for building the ROM
images.
- coreboot.rom and coreboot_serial.rom renamed to
coreboot_usqwerty.rom and coreboot_serial_usqwerty.rom
