[RFE] Rename flatcar_production_packet.ipxe to flatcar_production_equinix_metal.ipxe #483

Open invidian opened 3 years ago

invidian commented 3 years ago

Current situation

flatcar_production_packet.ipxe file which is part of the release still references to Equinix Metal as Packet.

There is also COREOS_PACKET_IPV4_PRIVATE_0, which could perhaps also be renamed.

Impact

This might be confusing and harder to find for new Equinix Metal users.

Ideal future situation

All references to Packet are renamed to Equinix Metal.

Additional information

Similar efforts are now done in Lokomotive: https://github.com/kinvolk/lokomotive/pull/1545

We should keep the flatcar.oem.id=packet kernel command line parameter though for backwards compatibility, and just add equinix-metal.
