They probably still don't like it but I think it is important to point out the difference. > I'm not sure who is maintaining the ebuilds, but it is hard to update > them? The problem is that I cannot NOT add the license files. Now that > we have them, they also have to be part of the archives. The ebuilds are maintained in the the media-tv herd (collection of devs). The current listed maintainers are Doug Coldstein (cardoe) and Steve Dibb (beandog). There is an open bug on the gentoo bugzilla on [1] and assigned to cardoe. Steve/Doug, CC'ing you to be sure you get this. Hans, The archives are being digested (md5, sha and sha256) and when the digest changes it is considered a breach in security as these should normally not change. Redigesting should not be a big problem but it would be helpfull if the firmware files are versioned. It would be a lot easier to avoid digest issues and bumping the version in portage.
