[Bug 1214789] New: Drop the raw / uncompressed kernel-firmware package
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.

https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1214789 https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1214789#c1 --- Comment #1 from Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.com> --- FWIW, there have been a few changes about kernel-firmware package: - The multibuild target is swapped; the raw all-in-one package is built with "uncompressed" flavor while the compressed split packages are built as the base one - The kernel-firmware provides kernel-firmware-uncompressed as alias - kernel-firmware-* subpackages have Conflicts against kernel-firmware-uncompressed; it's because they must not coexist, otherwise the kernel may choose the undesired one (basically uncompressed file is chosen at first). - The installation is done with the upstream script, as it supports the compression support - The upstream added "RawFile" attribute in WHENCE, and this made some files installed as uncompressed even in compression mode. (e.g. for small files or amd-ucode) The last change seemed to cause a problem, though. It made kernel-firmware and kernel-firmware-* packages conflicting with its content (both provides the same files). As a workaround, Dominique suggested that kernel-firmware should also have Provides of kernel-firmware-*. Then, if kernel-firmware is used, the dependency for kernel-firmware-* can be solved. OTOH, kernel-firmware-all is installed, it replaces everything. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

installation-images has historically these (kernel) firmware dependencies:
BuildRequires: adaptec-firmware BuildRequires: bcm43xx-firmware BuildRequires: kernel-firmware BuildRequires: atmel-firmware BuildRequires: ipw-firmware
Can this be reduced to simply kernel-firmware resp. (after the transition) kernel-firmware-all?
AFAIK, all those (except for kernel-firmware) seem to be the non-upstreamed stuff, so they are still needed. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
