• Bug#890601: firmware-linux-free uses prebuilt blobs instead of building

    From Ben Hutchings@21:1/5 to All on Thu May 8 04:00:01 2025
    XPost: linux.debian.kernel

    Control: tag -1 patch

    I opened a merge request for this: https://salsa.debian.org/kernel-team/firmware-free/-/merge_requests/10
    With those changes, only the Sierra Wireless CIS files
    (cis/SW_*_SER.cis) are not being rebuilt. As I understand it, the
    binary verions of those are their preferred form for modification. If
    this is not acceptable, I can add the text versions of those files
    generated by the dump_cis command and run them through pack_cis at
    package build time. But I don't think that is a meaningful improvement.

    Ben.

    It's easier to fight for one's principles than to live up to them.
