Merge lp:~darkmuggle-deactivatedaccount/ubuntu/oneiric/ipxe/oneiric into lp:ubuntu/oneiric/ipxe

[Ben Howard]

The current code base in lp:ubuntu/ipxe does not compile. Instead it loops on the file linuxprefix.S. This file was removed upstream.

LP: #821725 was filed against this.

Hi Ben!

Thanks for pushing this, i think it needs a "bzr" add to add the patch, and a relevant entry in debian/changelog. Note, that you can also combine the other ipxe bug you are working on.

Thanks!

Thanks for catching that Dave. Re-pushed with changes. The other patch is not ready yet; I thought it prudent to get this fix in first and then push my changes in after we have a working patch to keep the number of moving bits small for now.

Great!

I made two additional commits before uploaded. These were:
 - Run 'update-maintainer', if we introduce a delta with Debian, we change the maintainer to an @ubuntu.com address. This is normally the catchall Ubuntu Developers Discuss mailing list. (the script handles this for us).

 - Merged in patch applied status.

Additionally, we tend to add patch tagging (http://dep.debian.net/deps/dep3/) to the patches which makes future maintenance much easier; but in this case I think it ok.

If the updated Debian package lands before the other changes you are making to this package, we should sync out the diff.

Uploading... thanks!

review: Approve

Ah - I also added the bug number into debian/changelog which will close the bug that this is addressing.

Good work!
