Bug#929692: RFP: iwlwifi-dkms -- iwlwifi driver backport in DKMS format
Which git tree and branch do you take it from? If it is https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/iwlwifi/backport-iwlwifi.git then the package name is better called backport-iwlwifi-dkms or iwlwifi-backport-dkms to make the package name clear in reflecting what it does. Thanks, Anthony
Bug#929692: RFP: iwlwifi-dkms -- iwlwifi driver backport in DKMS format
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name: iwlwifi-dkms Version : 7744 Upstream Author : Linus Torvalds and others * URL : https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/drivers/iwlwifi/core_release * License : GPL-2 Programming Lang: C Description : iwlwifi driver backport in DKMS format Intel works with periodic releases of the iwlwifi driver that are tested with a specific combination of components. They are called LinuxCore releases and are numbered sequentially, e.g. LinuxCore11 is the latest stable release as of May 2015. For users using some LTS distributions, stable kernel updates might not be enough to cover new devices and requires manually compiling iwlwifi backport driver to enable. It would be convenient for those users to have already packaged iwlwifi backport dkms. This dkms is currently included in Ubuntu oem installations when necessary. I've also created, probably duplicate works from others, a debian port hosted on https://gitlab.com/vicamo/iwlwifi-dkms and will begin ITP later.
