Then you should split it further, extra really does not make any sense, we need
to be able to pick and chose, what you are doing is making things good for one
platform and keeping it as it was before for others, this is not an improvement
at all.
If you look at main spec, main package is for all verticals except netbook.
Netbook usage model is similar with laptop, so not sure it make sense to create
a -netbook subpackage.

Hi,
It should be also noted that there are also for example ARM device that
are supported in MeeGo, and for example N900 doesn't require the
linux-firmware package at all AFAIK (at least image boots fine and
everything seems to work without it). Thus, I would vote for removing
the whole linux-firmware package from the base/core/compliance groups
and adding the splitted subpackages to the to the hardware specific
groups like "Moorestown support" "Medfield support".
Regards,
Marko
Anas
Peter.

Please do not use names like -extra or whatever, instead use the feature
those
FW files support, in the case below, it should be -wimax.

Linux-firm-ware is bloated (13M+) and designed with PC needs in mind

it's
a first effort to split this big package, see [1]. It has a separate
linux-firmware-extra package. For main package, I just put the really needed
stuff for current vertical/platforms by going through changelog. I move OLPC
XO stuff and Intel wifi/wimax stuff to -extra while it's used in netbook. With
this, linux-firmware is just 1.3M, 10% small than before. BTW, this is just
first
step, next step is to create vertical specific firmware package if needed.
Please have a review and let me know if anything missed that's needed for
your platform.
