CentOS6 and netboot
 

Is there any chance the system-config-netboot* rpms upstream removed from
CentOS6 could be provided in extras? The CentOS5 SRPM builds cleanly under
CentOS6, and upstream's workaround is insufficient as it only covers
diskless clients, not helpful if you need pxeos.

Can you tell me what you want rebuilt and where I would find it?

The only thing CentOS removes that Red Hat includes is things that
specifically are RHN centric. We don't build those for obvious reasons.

Thanks,

http://vault.centos.org/5.8/os/SRPMS/system-config-netboot-0.1.45.1-3.el5.src.rpm

This SRPM creates both system-config-netboot and system-config-netboot-cmd.
I would like to see those available for CentOS6 if you feel it's a useful
addition. Otherwise I'd maintain my own.

Sure, I understand that. But these packages have been removed by upstream.
They are no longer included after EL5.
