pxelocal.template and $pxe_menu_items

[Pablo Iranzo Gómez]

Hi
I would like to achieve something similar to pxedefault.template but with the custom
options of pxelocal.template after a system has been provisoned.

The idea is to offer the full range of profiles to each system as an aditional option.

What I did was to put $pxe_menu_items stanza on the pxelocal.template as I did with
pxedefault.template, but no matter what I do, it doesn't get rendered.

After looking at the code at pxegen.py, I can see the metadata["pxe_menu_items"]
in "make_actual_pxe_menu"  (which outputs pxelinux.cfg/default) but not on the
function referencing pxelocal.template ("write_pxe_file"), so my guess is that
this is not implemented.

¿any hint?

Thanks in advance
Pablo

Hi
¿Should this be directed to -devel?

Thanks
Pablo
