In GNU Boot, at the time of writing, we want to advise users to use
the GRUB images as they don't require users to modify their
distribtions.
However before the commit aec2e2f2bcf7693a05e416f9722e15b9d1854516
("Fix bug #65663 (No support for LVM2)."), most computers using LVM2
would not boot with these images.
The bug is now fixed by this commit, however since we ship a custom
grub.cfg and that it is very important to get it right, it's a good
idea to have some sort of automated testing for it.
It uses Trisquel (instead of other FSF certified distributions) for
several reasons:
- Trisquel can be used by less technical users, and so it's important
to make sure it works as less technical users tend to have harder
times finding workaround when things break.
- It's probably the GNU/Linux distribution that most current and
potential GNU Boot users use.
- It is also maintained by a community that welcome contributions, so
if we hit some issues, we can also contribute to get it fixed (we
also verified that multiple times by contributing to it).
Note that we also welcome tests that reuse other distributions as
well.
