Perhaps we should pick a recent commit hash to clone, then? There's plenty going on in there development-wise, which would surely have warranted a release or two; it just looks like they couldn't be arsed to tag releases. Hanging on to a two-year-old version and building up a backport queue doesn't make sense. At the very least we should do this in xen-unstable, and get some testing done of recent ipxe upstream. -- Keir
