At September 2013, after more than 2 years since 4.20, 5.01 is finally
out and the development of Memtest86+ is now fully resumed.

Please backport memtest86+ 5.01-3ubuntu1 from Ubuntu 15.10 Wily to 14.04
LTS - memtest86+ is 4 years old in 14.04 LTS and doesn't support lots of
current hardware :(

Bellow is debian/changelog entry:

memtest86+ (5.01-3ubuntu1) wily; urgency=medium
  * Merge with Debian; remaining changes:
    - Only run update-grub in the postrm on remove/purge.
    - Drop the multiboot image from the GRUB menu for now, since it's
      experimental and has known problems detecting all memory on some
      systems at the moment.
    - Do not update grub configuration, if running in container, or
      update-grub not present, or grub config has not been previously
      generated.
    - Support localization of GRUB menu entries.
    - Don't present the GRUB menu option on EFI systems, since it won't work.

memtest86+ (5.01-3) unstable; urgency=medium
  * Build with -fgnu89-inline for GCC 5 (Matthias Klose, Closes: #778001)
 -- Yann Dirson <dirson at debian.org>  Thu, 25 Jun 2015 19:14:21 +0200

memtest86+ (5.01-2) unstable; urgency=medium
  * Build -O0 to workaround what is apparently a gcc 4.9 optimisation bug,
    and use "static" the __in and __out macros to allow compilation to
    proceed under this condition (as done in other distros, including
    Mageia, closes: #753627): memtest86+-5.01-O0.patch.
  * Fix PCI bus scanning on Nehalem architectures (patch from the Mageia
    package): memtest86+-5.01-array-size.patch.
  * Bumped Standards-Version to 3.9.5, no change.
 -- Yann Dirson <dirson at debian.org>  Wed, 10 Sep 2014 21:58:11 +0200

memtest86+ (5.01-1) unstable; urgency=medium
  * Switch to source format 3.0 (quilt).
  * New upstream release (Closes: #727638).
    * Drop makeiso.sh fix for genisoimage, integrated upstream.
    * Refresh multiboot patch, but do not include additional fix for
      #568176 yet (needs more work).
    * Call build target explicitely, since the default target now attempts
      an scp.
  * Include chineses translations for package descriptions (Anthony Wong
    <ypwong at gmail.com>, Closes: #741432)
  * Only run update-grub in the postrm on remove/purge (Luke Faraone /
    Ubuntu, Closes: #587340)
  * Remove leading ./ in lintian-override paths so they get recognized again.
