@Robert, Richard has backported the relevant fixes to the 3.20 stable branch. There are 6 patches. I've added them to a packaging branch here for when this is ready to be turned on: https://code.launchpad.net/~superm1/gnome-software/enable-firmware I've also done a test build on my PPA here:

Richard, Now that 3.20.0 is dropped, is the hard code freeze lifted on 3.20 so you can backport these? At least in anticipation of the MIR for bug 1536871 finally getting finished I'd like to at least make sure we have good coverage on a PPA with the various backport changes. -- You received

Hey Mario, After the 3.20.0 tarball and the lifting of the hard code freeze I'm intending to backport a few more patches indeed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1544376 Title: [ffe]

Re: [Bug 1544376] Re: [ffe] Enable firmware support

@richard, Any chance you can backport some of what you did in master to 3.20 upstream branch for the purpose of a 3.20.x maintenance release? I'm happy to make a stab at picking the important ones for Ubuntu, but I think it would be generally better for all distros picking this up to not do

@superm1 we're sticking with GNOME Software 3.20, but happy to backport any patches that are appropriate. You're probably the best to let us know exactly what we need, feel free to file bugs with requests (or you can do it). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of

Nice, this should happen. Approved if someone can test it either before or very soon after uploading - asking the QA team to do that would be fine. ** Changed in: gnome-software (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu

Yes, happy to help with testing on some real hardware. @laney , @seb128, @robert-ancell what's the intention for moving to a new gnome-software snapshot between now and release? There was a flurry of upstream work in gnome-software specifically related to firmware yesterday. I'd hope that

I think Mario Limonciello will be happy to help with testing - at least on Debian, he is a great help with moving the fwupd stuff forward :) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1544376
