[gPXE-devel] [ANNOUNCE] gpxebot open sourced under GPL

[Stefan Hajnoczi]

I am announcing the open source release of gpxebot under the GPL.  This is the
code that powers 'gpxebot' on #etherboot IRC to perform common gPXE-related
tasks.  The current feature set includes:

  * Looking up error codes and decoding their meaning
  * Checking driver support given a PCI ID
  * Recording Google Summer of Code IRC meetings for mentors and students

The aim of gpxebot is to perform common tasks that our community of users,
developers, students, and mentors need on IRC.  This helps us answer questions
and debug problems more quickly.

The source code is written in Python and evolved from a single file that could
look up error codes.  Commands are implemented in cmds.py and can easily
be added.

Git repository:
http://git.etherboot.org/?p=people/stefanha/gpxebot.git;a=summary

The official 'gpxebot' runs on etherboot.org and can now be extended or fixed
as needed by sending patches.  Please send patches to
gpxe-developers at etherboot.org - I expect volume to be very low and hope other
list members find such patches useful and not distracting, otherwise plase let
me know.

Enjoy!

Stefan
