Dropping mknbi from F10

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I am dropping mknbi from F10 for the following reasons:

* NBI images generated by mknbi have completely failed to boot anything with modern Fedora kernels. * ELF images generated by mknbi don't work with coreboot with Etherboot. mkelfimage ELF images seem to work everywhere ELF netboot is expected to work including coreboot.
* wraplinux NBI seems to work everywhere NBI is expected to work.
* wraplinux is actively maintained by hpa upstream and he instantly fixes whatever we ask for. Meanwhile mknbi is a steaming pile of ancient, unmaintained buggy code * LTSP relies on mkelfimage (for ELF) and wraplinux (for NBI), so there is no reason for mknbi to exist anymore.
