Merge ipxe from upstream for questing

[Bryce Harrington]

We are ahead of Debian due to https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=985047

ipxe | 1.21.1+git-20220113.fbbdc3926-0ubuntu1 | kinetic
ipxe | 1.21.1+git-20220113.fbbdc3926-0ubuntu1 | lunar

ipxe | 1.0.0+git-20190125.36a4c85-5.1 | stable
ipxe | 1.0.0+git-20190125.36a4c85-5.1 | testing
ipxe | 1.0.0+git-20190125.36a4c85-5.1 | unstable

It might be time to bump to a new commit on git. We're currently carrying a snapshot from January

Make sure to check upstream's CI for issues before pulling HEAD (or any given commit):

    https://github.com/ipxe/ipxe/actions?query=workflow%3ABuild+branch%3Amaster

If we anticipate a continuing need to pull from git, then LP: #1677874 "Missing dep8 tests" may be of value to address. At least, it could call valgrind like the upstream CI does.

Debian has still not updated and there are no major changes we got asked for.
So for 23.04 we plan to not go "further ahead" for now.

[Bryce Harrington (bryce)]

This should be re-evaluated now for mantic.
Per comment #1 the answer may still be 'wait', in which case just set state back to Incomplete.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Heinrich Schuchardt (xypron)]

Hello Jonas,

In ipxe-1.21.1+git-20220113.fbbdc3926 I see gcc-aarch64-linux-gnu as dependency but not gcc-riscv64-linux-gnu.

Upstream has added riscv64 support. Shouldn't we build for it? Probably a change to be started in salsa.debian.org.

Best regards

Heinrich

Hey Heinrich! In the upcoming update to 1.21.1+git-20250602.5b3ebf8b there will be riscv64 support!

[Heinrich Schuchardt (xypron)]

Thanks Jonas.

This bug was fixed in the package ipxe - 1.21.1+git-20250602.5b3ebf8b+dfsg-1ubuntu1

---------------
ipxe (1.21.1+git-20250602.5b3ebf8b+dfsg-1ubuntu1) questing; urgency=medium

  * Merge with Debian unstable (LP: #1996530). Changed version from debian's
    1.21.1+git20250602.5b3ebf8b+dfsg-1 by including '+git-', which is needed
    to be newer than Ubuntu's latest 1.21.1+git-20220113.fbbdc3926-0ubuntu2
    and newer than Debian's 1.21.1+git20250602.5b3ebf8b+dfsg-1 (using '+git')

    Remaining changes:
    - d/util/check-rom-sizes, d/rules: pad size of generated roms to 512KiB
      to avoid accidentally breaking KVM live migration on updates/fixes.
      debian managed to reduce the size back to 256KiB in
      1.21.1+git20250317.42a29d56+dfsg-1
      but to be future-proof, let's reserve this little extra space.
      background: qemu migrations apparently reserve memory from the target
      system's roms, while moving the data from the source emulator.
  * Drop changes:
    - Fix FTBFS with new binutils
      + d/p/0003-Inhibit-linker-warnings-about-an-implied-executable-.patch

      [included in 1.21.1+git20220113.fbbdc3926+dfsg-1]
  * New changes:
    - d/watch: use format $version+git-$date-$hash
      to ensure version continuity, since debian switched to
      $version+git$date-$hash which is lower than -
    - d/p/debian/patches/respect-CPPFLAGS-CFLAGS-LDFLAGS-presets.patch:
      fix HOST_CFLAGS recursion to avoid make error
      "Recursive variable `HOST_CFLAGS' references itself"
    - d/rules: don't build with lto (as recommended by upstream)
