| juergh | chiluk, also with the HWE kernels in older series we do have to upgrade firmware more 'aggressively' in older series as well. Mostly graphics and wifi it seems. | 08:15 |
|---|---|---|
| juergh | Phibs, This seems to be the script: https://git.launchpad.net/~canonical-kernel/+git/kteam-tools/tree/mainline-build/cod-version-map-builder | 08:23 |
| juergh | I haven't looked what it's doing but it seems to be called daily. The timestamp of the html file is from today. | 08:24 |
| Phibs | Yea the data seems stale, sadly | 09:04 |
| Phibs | Thx! | 09:04 |
| JanC | ideally, firmware wouldn't be packaged in 1 huge ever-growing package though... | 17:58 |
| JanC | it's already almost 1 GiB in size (after unpacking) | 17:58 |
| Phibs | How many firmware packages do you want ? ;) | 18:00 |
| JanC | it would be better if people could just download what they need... (same for during installs, only copy what's needed) | 18:01 |
| Phibs | Like 1 deb per firmware ? Seems like a lot ;) | 18:09 |
| JanC | doesn't have to be debs, of course; and some firmwares are already distributed through fwupd, for example, so maybe that can be used somehow... | 18:18 |
| juergh | How would you download what you need if your NIC needs fw that you don't have yet? :-) | 18:58 |
| juergh | But yes, package size is a concern and it's on my plate to look at splitting some lesser used fw out into separate packages. Or something like that. | 18:59 |
| JanC | juergh: that's why install media would need to have them too, of course | 20:05 |
| JanC | but like I sadi before: "only copy what's needed" | 20:06 |
| JanC | *said* | 20:06 |
