Description:
For almost 3 months the grub packages is now flagged out of date... srsly?

I would not care to much but to get support for booting of a zfs dataset with all feature flags enabled a newer version of grub is needed.

Two options:
* AUR grub-git: package is unmaintained, so no luck with that either.
* Upstream git tag=grub-2.02-beta3: it would support all the zfs feature flags currently supported by ZoL.

Steps to reproduce:

Try to run grub-intall or grub-probe with the current version when /boot or / is on a zfs dataset, it will fail.

As a proposed fix, please update the regular package, why the hold up?

To grease the gears a little bit; please find attached an updated PKGBUILD with the security fix removed (fixed upstream now) and checksums, patches adjusted to the grub-2.02-beta3 tag.
   PKGBUILD (11 KiB)
   grub-10_linux-detect-archlinu... (1.6 KiB)
   grub-add-GRUB_COLOR_variables... (0.8 KiB)
   grub-intel-ucode.patch (0.7 KiB)
This task depends upon
