Could you clarify the reasoning behind this? I just got off the phone with Dennis Gilmore, so I'll repeat myself here (albeit more succinctly). If the source code is available under a Free license for the MLO/Uboot, package it and build it from source. The argument that the hardware vendor will not "support" it is somewhat silly, since they're not going to "support" Fedora either. I don't see a good reason to treat a pre-built MLO/Uboot file as a firmware blob when the source is available, and I don't see a reason to waive the "must be built from source" requirement either. ~tom == Fedora Project _______________________________________________ arm mailing list arm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/arm
