Checkout github pull requests locally

Locate the section for your github remote in the .git/config file. It looks like this:

[remote "origin"]
	fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
	url = git@github.com:joyent/node.git

Now add the line fetch = +refs/pull/*/head:refs/remotes/origin/pr/* to this section. Obviously, change the github url to match your project's URL. It ends up looking like this:

Init script (/etc/init.d/spideroak) and default (/etc/default/spideroak) for SpiderOak from https://launchpad.net/~tonio
# defaults file for spideroak daemon headless mode
# SpiderOak does not currently support handling the initial setup of
# an account, or setup of a new device within an account entirely from
# the command line. This is because the new user setup process requires
# the user to answer a CAPTCHA and some other validation processes.
#
# Instead, we recommend connecting to the headless server using "ssh -X"
# to forward X11 connections back to your local desktop machine with X11
# running. Within your ssh session to the headless server, run SpiderOak

Embedded iPXE menu to choose which network adapter to boot from (autodetects up to 10 adapters)

Go into your git checkout folder of ipxe.

Save the below file as nic-menu.ipxe.

Build iPXE like this:

cd src && make EMBED=../nic-menu.ipxe && cd ..

Requirements: current iPXE as of 2013-08-01 (for proper behavior of autoboot with a network device specified, netX feature, PCI vendor/device ID display and inc command)
