Package: firmware-carl9170 Version: 1.9.9-399-gcd480b9-1 Severity: minor -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/ has a directory ``carl9170fw`` which is also the source name of this package. When I check this package Homepage I see the following: ``` Firmware binary The firmware can be obtained from firmware tree. ``` And 'firmware tree' is a link to firmware-nonfree's repo (via a redirect). Looking through this package git repo, I found this URL: https://github.com/chunkeey/carl9170fw/ And a casual comparison with the ``carl9170fw`` dir in linux-firmware repo shows a LOT of similarities. But it's not the same. It appears that this package's upstream is a fork of linux-firmware? In any case, I'm confused about the relation between the ``carl9170fw`` dir in linux-firmware and this package. Can you tell me if the ``carl9170fw`` dir should be excluded in firmware-nonfree, just like ``ath9k_htc`` is excluded as it's packaged in ``open-ath9k-htc-firmware``? - -- System Information: Debian Release: trixie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (101, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 6.6.13-amd64 (SMP w/16 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US:en Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iHUEARYIAB0WIQT1sUPBYsyGmi4usy/XblvOeH7bbgUCZcZVTgAKCRDXblvOeH7b bkmaAP99nTma9WFJeFzfFEGpZfTyIf0KmTNxJBX2XkEq0QM7cAD9G9eRc+UG31Hg J9CXEtwGbWnEbEfvUug3waKiwrSpWw4= =1zzV -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
