Hi All,
As discussed before the new SOF audio driver needed for audio to
function properly on recent Intel based laptops needs the
alsa-sof-firmware package.
For F32 this has been added to comps, but for F31 and for people
upgrading from F31, we are still getting bug reports that audio
does not work with newer kernels, see e.g. :
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1806334
So we need to do something for F31 ASAP (and rely on people fully
updating F31 before upgrading to fix upgrades to F32).
My proposal still is to add a:
Requires: alsa-sof-firmware
To the F31 (and F30) kernel-modules sub-package.
If I receive no objections to this I will add this change
to distgit soon , so that it can be picked up by the next
kernel build.
Or even better if the maintainer of the current F30/F31
kernel can do this before the next build, that would be
great.
And we just got the 3th bug report for this in 2 days:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1772498#c240
Again after an upgrade to Fedora 32 (I guess people were
sticking with an older kernel on F31).
I think we should consider also adding the Requires to
the F32 kernel-modules and rely on the comps thing for
F33 and later only.
I am not particularly happy with having to add it when the majority of
systems do not actually require it, but I have seen the bugs and understand
the position we are in. The alsa-sof-firmware package is 384k, I think
adding it might be the best course of action.
Can we do a recommends rather than a hard requires please?
Good point, yes that should work fine, while allowing people who
really don't want it / want to save the space to opt out.
So lets go with the Recommends.
Regards,
Hans
