[opensuse-kernel] TW: keep selected kernel firmware packages only
Hi, after the firmware split, it should be possible to just keep the selected set. On /some/ systems, all FW packages are pulled with a kernel update from zypper dup. Q is, why? $ rpmg ^kernel kernel-default-5.7.11-5.3.x86_64 kernel-default-5.8.0-8.2.x86_64 kernel-default-devel-5.7.11-5.3.x86_64 kernel-default-devel-5.8.0-8.2.x86_64 kernel-devel-5.7.11-5.3.noarch kernel-devel-5.8.0-8.2.noarch kernel-firmware-amdgpu-20200807-1.1.noarch kernel-firmware-bluetooth-20200807-1.1.noarch kernel-firmware-i915-20200807-1.1.noarch kernel-firmware-intel-20200807-1.1.noarch kernel-firmware-media-20200807-1.1.noarch kernel-firmware-network-20200807-1.1.noarch kernel-firmware-nvidia-20200807-1.1.noarch kernel-firmware-platform-20200807-1.1.noarch kernel-firmware-prestera-20200807-1.1.noarch kernel-firmware-radeon-20200807-1.1.noarch kernel-firmware-realtek-20200807-1.1.noarch kernel-firmware-serial-20200807-1.1.noarch kernel-firmware-sound-20200807-1.1.noarch kernel-firmware-usb-network-20200807-1.1.noarch kernel-macros-5.8.0-8.2.noarch $ zyp dup [...] The following 22 NEW packages are going to be installed: kernel-default 5.8.0-8.3 kernel-default-devel 5.8.0-8.3 kernel-firmware-all 20200807-1.1 kernel-firmware-ath10k 20200807-1.1 kernel-firmware-atheros 20200807-1.1 kernel-firmware-bnx2 20200807-1.1 kernel-firmware-brcm 20200807-1.1 kernel-firmware-chelsio 20200807-1.1 kernel-firmware-dpaa2 20200807-1.1 kernel-firmware-iwlwifi 20200807-1.1 kernel-firmware-liquidio 20200807-1.1 kernel-firmware-marvell 20200807-1.1 kernel-firmware-mediatek 20200807-1.1 kernel-firmware-mellanox 20200807-1.1 kernel-firmware-mwifiex 20200807-1.1 kernel-firmware-nfp 20200807-1.1 kernel-firmware-qlogic 20200807-1.1 kernel-firmware-ti 20200807-1.1 kernel-firmware-ueagle 20200807-1.1 [...] kernel 5.8.0-8.* is built in a local OBS.

kernel-default.spec still contains "Recommends: kernel-firmware", and this corresponds to kernel-firmware-all package which is a meta package dragging all kernel-firmware-* subpackages. You can blacklist kernel-firmware and kernel-firmware-all via zypper addlock. % zypper rm kernel-firmware-all % zypper al kernel-firmware kernel-firmware-all Then uninstall unnecessary kernel-firmware-* subpackages.

Ah, okay.

% zypper rm kernel-firmware-all % zypper al kernel-firmware kernel-firmware-all

Sure, thanks. Pete -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+owner@opensuse.org
