[Bug 540636] New: qlogic firmware rpm dropped from distribution
http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=540636 Summary: qlogic firmware rpm dropped from distribution Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.2 Version: Factory Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.1 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Kernel AssignedTo: kernel-maintainers@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: hare@novell.com QAContact: qa@suse.de CC: coolo@novell.com, ro@novell.com Found By: Development Recent kernel-firmware rpms obsoletes the 'qlogic-firmware' rpm. Hence the rpm has been dropped from the distribution. This leads to some problems: - qla2xxx has several firmware choices, depending if a specific functionality is required (eg NPIV support) - The kernel does _not_ provide a firmware for the qla2xxx driver, hence the 'obsoletes' is clearly bogus. Please remove the 'obsoletes' keyword from kernel-firmware and reinstantiate the rpm. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

btw, this kernel-firmware package has some flaws anyway. For one it contains all kind of iwl* ucodes and does not obsolete the rpms - and I failed to find out what version is in the kernel-firmware as it seems a random tar ball of something random ;(
It's the latest stuff that is upstream, and obsoletes the kernel firmware that comes in the kernel tree itself. It is required, and if there are specific problems with the package, please file bugs against it and I will fix it. But this should be obsoleting the qlogic firmware package, as it duplicates it. So am marking closed. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
