CLUSTER UPDATES-BACKUPS-BOOT · 4 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2022-02-09

Bootloader backup utilities

This cluster consists of system utilities that clean up or back up bootloader configurations and entries for syslinux, GRUB, and systemd-boot, often preserving rollback points before kernel updates. The dated history is too thin to read a shape from—only 4 dated entries exist before the index start, so the cluster predates the index or its members are undated. Traction leaders by activity signal are systemd-boot-lifeboat, grub-backup-hook, and syslinux-editor, each with 0 stars.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 4 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.

  2. 02grub-backup-hook0★3 yrabandonedliveopen sourceSystem hook that updates the GRUB bootloader after kernel updates and keeps backups of its configuration.

  4. 04unified-kernel-image-hooks0★4 yrabandonedlivehand-codedopen sourceSystem-global script that preserves the currently active boot configuration as a backup entry so system updates can be rolled back easily.

Ranked by traction, highest first, and paged 20 at a time — this is a window on the cluster, never the whole of it. Ties are broken by a stable id so a product cannot appear on two pages or fall between them. Browse every cluster.
