Re: [Xen-devel] [PATCH] pyGrub: Use proper bootloader class when entering command manually

[Michal Novotny <minovotn@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Yeah, that's right Ian. However adding a new method called new_image() 
to all of the boot loader configuration classes (*ConfigFile classes) 
will still be necessary. I wrote a new version of my patch to add 
support for new_image() method all the existing classes and did the 
modifications to pygrub.
As in previous version of my patch, the isconfig debug option has been 
fixed too.
Keir, please use this version to be committed.

Thanks,
Michal
