Hi, When using pxe image built with sys-firmware/ipxe, version is reported as 1.0.0+ which can be quiet confusing when trying to figure out if binary has been updated properly in different places where it may be deployed. iPXE> show version builtin/version:string = 1.0.0+ Reproducible: Always
version can be tuned by setting VERSION= in call to make as per https://github.com/ipxe/ipxe/blob/master/src/Makefile#L209-L237
