They don't had tagged an stable release in the last five years, and always include latest master maybe wouldn't be a good idea, as it can introduce bugs and complications with changes. Have you an idea how they handle that, are there any releases which are considered as (somewhat) stable?

I would like to request that 'pve-qemu-kvm' include a more recent build of iPXE. It includes things like being able to build menus. Using the default version will bomb and give you an error: 'menu command not found'

I suggest that the newer versions be included by default. I'm sure the package maintainer is already aware of how to do this but I'll include the following anyway for everyone else:

# clone iPXE
git clone git://git.ipxe.org/ipxe.git
cd ipxe/src

# build ipxe rom
make bin/8086100e.rom    # e1000
make bin/virtio-net.rom  # virtio
make bin/10ec8139.rom    # rtl8139

# you should now have those rom files in bin/ which you can then copy into the deb or, if you are not the package maintainer, into the directory /usr/share/kvm/. Note the name difference:
# now copy into /usr/share/kvm. Backup the old copies first.
cp bin/8086100e.rom /usr/share/kvm/pxe-e1000.rom
cp bin/virtio-net.rom /usr/share/kvm/pxe-virtio.rom
cp bin/10ec8139.rom /usr/share/kvm/pxe-rtl8139.rom

Cheers,

Phil
