No, probably not unless a BSD licensed alternative was available. :) But, in thinking about what might make sense for EDK II with git, one option that should be considered is breaking the top-level 'packages' into separate sub-modules. I had gone so far as to start pushing repos as sub-modules. But, as the effort to convert EDK II to git has stalled (actually never even thought about leaving the ground), I abandoned that approach and went back to just mirroring one EDK II. I could fairly easily re-enable mirror the sub-set of packages needed for OVMF. So, in that case, the FatBinPkg sub-module could easily be dropped from a tree. > But this can be quite simple using a combination of git-svn and a > rewriting script.

I would love to mirror the BaseTools as a sub-package without all the silly windows binaries... What script did you guys use? -Jordan -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
