Subject: syslinux-common: COMBOOT executables not bundled

Date: Sat, 10 Mar 2012 16:33:17 +0800

Package: syslinux
Version: 4.05+dfsg-2
Severity: normal


pxechain.com isn't bundled with syslinux-common due to this section in debian/rules:

override_dh_auto_install:
 (...)
        rm -f debian/tmp/usr/share/syslinux/*.com # ms-dos executables

Although these files are MS-DOS executables, PXELINUX can run them too - and in this case the pxechain.com is extremely useful 
for 'chaining' between pxelinux instances.

Arguably all the COMBOOT executables are worth bundling - e.g. memdump, ver - as they can be run from the syslinux command line to provide 
useful information.

It's probably harder to justify including the various dosutil/ packages (which are unbundled by the next line in debian/rules), but they might 
still be useful to someone building a SYSLINUX or PXELINUX server.

the idea was not to get rid of some of the c32 modules (some of which 
are wrongly named *.com); but to get rid of the win32 stuff 
(syslinux.com, etc.).
