[fedora-virt] gPXE vs iPXE in Fedora and QEMU/KVM usage
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

"gPXE development ceased in summer 2010, and several projects are
migrating or considering migrating to iPXE as a result."
