Project Summary
Note: This project is not used any longer, because we migrated to GRUB 2. All the resources in this project is only for references and historical information and should not be used for real purposes.
PUPA stands for Preliminary Universal Programming Architecture for GNU GRUB. PUPA is a research project for the next generation of GNU GRUB. Our goal is to redesign/rewrite the major part of GNU GRUB so that the code base would be more robust, cleaner, and safer. Also, it is intended to add several new features, such as internationalization,
cross-platform installation, a scripting language, and multi-architecture support. The result will be integrated into GNU GRUB later.
This project was supported by Information-technology Promotion Agency, Japan from 2002-07-15 to 2003-02-28
