It was never there.

The code (AFAICT from looking at tools/firmware/etherboot/Makefile)
first tries to download the tarball, and if that fails, uses git
clone.

Does the lack of the tarball cause your actual build to fail ?

I think it's probably sensible to retain this "try tarball first"
arrangement but we should provide a tarball at least for tag mentioned
in the release versions of Xen.

Wei, are we expecting to update IPXE_GIT_TAG again ?

Ian.
