Removing linux-firmware from the build

2011-07-28 Thread Daniel Drake
Hi, linux-firmware, the package that puts lots of stuff in /lib/firmware, is growing and growing and is mostly irrelevant for us, including firmware for (e.g.) SCSI controllers. I'm considering removing it - nothing in the XOs uses firmware from that package. (our wireless firmware comes from

os1 fails to update firmware

After a clean install of OLPC 11.3.0 os1 and several reboots (with AC power and battery full) the firmware on the XO-1 is still q2e45. Does the build include q2e46 or it just fails to update for some other reason? ___ Devel mailing list

11.3.0: Share repos across arches -

2011-07-28 Thread Martin Langhoff
One topic for 11.3.0 is whether to maintain separate repos for x86 and arm platforms, or to share the repos and count on proper 'arch' being set on rpms so that OOB pulls the right package. If we keep them separate, - we'll want to sync noarch packages - we'll want a script to check that

Yessir, the bad and ugly refer to the gstreamer addins, not the script. :-) BTW I added guvcview to the end of the yum line as well, as doing that seemed to handle some of the weird LIBAVCODEC50 and 52 compatibility issues that arose when I tried to install it separately. Mikus helped us
