Ok, thanks for pointing that out! I completely understand that such a procedure is not desirable. The only other way I could think of is using a "pullin" package (like fetchmsttfonts) that uses a downloading script to fetch the binary firmware. On 04/11/2013 12:58 AM, Claudio Freire wrote:

Hi all,
I wanted to ask if it is OK to package precompiled binary firmware images (for USRP devices and so on), who's source code is available under GPL?
Precompiled when sources are available ? hrmm.. it is not ideal but I see that it requires a toolchain we don't have around..
I say go for it.. ;)
A nightmare for the security team though.
