https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1214789 Bug ID: 1214789 Summary: Drop the raw / uncompressed kernel-firmware package Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem Assignee: screening-team-bugs@suse.de Reporter: tiwai@suse.com QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Target Milestone: --- Found By: --- Blocker: --- Currently, kernel-firmware repo provides two different ways of packaging: one is the kernel-firmware.rpm that contains all firmware files in raw and uncompressed format, and another is the split of several subpackages with compressed files which are gathered by kernel-firmwre-all.rpm meta package. The former, kernel-firmware.rpm is still provided only for the legacy use cases (the old SLE), and kernel-firmware-all.rpm already has "Provides: kernel-firmware" as the better (much smaller) replacement. Now, we'd like to drop the old big kernel-firmware.rpm finally. But this needs fixing the dependencies in some package or images. As far as I see, the only package that has an explicit use of the uncompressed files is installation-images. This needs the changes to adapt kernel-firmwre-all and handling of compressed files. Also, KIWI images may have requires of kernel-firmware, and that might be a bigger problem. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
