Upstream QEMU/KVM have replaced gPXE with iPXE, AFAICT, because the gPXE community is dead[1], while iPXE is very active & responsive to patches, etc. I'd like QEMU/KVM in Fedora to ship using iPXE by default so that we match what the upstream community ships with.
As I see it there are two obvious options - Retire gPXE completely and add iPXE for use by everybody - Keep gPXE and add iPXE to be used by QEMU/KVM only I was wondering if people had any thoughts on the matter ? If we're quick there's still time todo this for Fedora 17, since we have not had any major Virt related test days yet - the OpenStack test day is March 8th (1+1/2 weeks away). Regards, Daniel [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPXE "gPXE development ceased in summer 2010, and several projects are migrating or considering migrating to iPXE as a result." -- |: http://berrange.com -o- http://www.flickr.com/photos/dberrange/ :| |: http://libvirt.org -o- http://virt-manager.org :| |: http://autobuild.org -o- http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ :| |: http://entangle-photo.org -o- http://live.gnome.org/gtk-vnc :| _______________________________________________ virt mailing list [email protected] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/virt
