Summary: GRand Unified Bootloader (UEFI variant)
Description: 
GNU GRUB is a multiboot boot loader. It was derived from GRUB. It is an
attempt to produce a boot loader for IBM PC-compatible machines that
has both the ability to be friendly to beginning or otherwise
nontechnically interested users and the flexibility to help experts in
diverse environments. It is compatible with Free/Net/OpenBSD and Linux.
It supports Win 9x/NT and OS/2 via chainloaders. It has a menu
interface and a command line interface.
It implements the Multiboot standard, which allows for flexible loading
of multiple boot images (needed for modular kernels such as the GNU Hurd).

This package provides UEFI systems support.

Please note that the official build is signed; this shouldn't
intervene in any way but rather provides means to cope with
UEFI SecureBoot (better described as Restricted Boot) firmware
when one can't disable it easily, doesn't want to, or needs not to.
