This doesn't seem particularly easy to use in this > form. Firmware-tools uses this *extensively*. I would like to port firmware-tools to use package-kit, but can't really, without this function. (As opposed to maintaining instructions for apt, yum, smart, rug, et al. currently.) Usage: $ firmwaretool --bootstrap This command produces a list of things on your system that *might* have firmware available in a repo. The list is formatted like: $ sudo /usr/sbin/firmwaretool --bootstrap system_bios(ven_0x1028_dev_0x01c2) pci_firmware(ven_0x8086_dev_0x27a2_subven_0x1028_subdev_0x01c2)/system(ven_0x1028_dev_0x01c2) pci_firmware(ven_0x8086_dev_0x27a2_subven_0x1028_subdev_0x01c2) pci_firmware(ven_0x8086_dev_0x27a6_subven_0x1028_subdev_0x01c2)/system(ven_0x1028_dev_0x01c2) pci_firmware(ven_0x8086_dev_0x27a6_subven_0x1028_subdev_0x01c2) ... cut ... Packages exist in the repository with "Provides: " tags that match the above list. yum does its magic and installs the correct package set when you feed this list to yum, thusly: $ sudo yum install $(sudo /usr/sbin/firmwaretool --bootstrap) -- Michael -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
