NeedChange - pick the tar.bz2 seems more appropriate instead of the tar.gz as Source0: * Juste a note: /lib/firmware/rt2860.bin /lib/firmware/rt2870.bin Thoses firmware comes from Ralink, but the kernel support for them might be missing. (they are missing from 2.6.30 at least) * From the initial package (~300ko) to the current (~9000 ko), the package grown by a ratio of 30. I'm really in favour of more splitting. On the other side, we will probably need to update the guideline about how to package firmware, because we used to have one package per module (which module name used to match the firmware package name). https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Firmware and https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:LicensingGuidelines#BinaryFirmware. Quoting: "Firmware packages must be named <foo>-firmware, where <foo> is the driver or other hardware component that the firmware is for. " This will probably need to update the current packaging guideline WRT firmwares. * I used to try to make a dvb-firmware package using the get-dvb-firmware perl script bundled in the kernel-doc package, but thoses files where conflicting: /lib/firmware/v4l-cx231xx-avcore-01.fw /lib/firmware/v4l-cx23885-avcore-01.fw /lib/firmware/v4l-cx23885-enc.fw /lib/firmware/v4l-cx25840.fw But some firmwares from http://www.linuxtv.org/downloads/firmware/ are still missing, I expect it would be better to have another archive/package for those v4l/dvb firmware to avoid conflict and to have them sorted (at least) by category. Do we have an updated package (as suggested in c#6)? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Fedora-package-review mailing list Fedora-package-review@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-review
