I'm looking at some of the packages in ON, and I don't see how
dependencies are properly tracked.
Specifically, the audio driver packages need to depend on driver-audio,
the driver-network-qfe package should have depended on
driver-network-hme. There are probably lots of others.
Any advice here?
I think driver-network-qfe ought to be folded into driver-network-hme.
Its only one additional binary of only a few kilobytes (qfe is a
*really* thin shim on top of hme), and almost everyone who wants hme on
sparc also wants qfe. (The qfe binary is not applicable to x86
systems.) Actually, since we're not really caring about compatibility
anymore, maybe I can just do away with the qfe shim altogether -- but
that's a question for another day.
I'm also thinking about breaking up some of the packages (driver-audio
needs to be broken up for example, since it has specific chip drivers in
it with the common framework), but I'm not entirely sure how to go about
doing that. Are there any guides which can help me here?
