[08:15] <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.
[08:23] <juergh> Phibs, This seems to be the script: https://git.launchpad.net/~canonical-kernel/+git/kteam-tools/tree/mainline-build/cod-version-map-builder
[08:24] <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.
[09:04] <Phibs> Yea the data seems stale, sadly 
[09:04] <Phibs> Thx!
[17:58] <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)
[18:00] <Phibs> How many firmware packages do you want ? ;)
[18:01] <JanC> it would be better if people could just download what they need... (same for during installs, only copy what's needed)
[18:09] <Phibs> Like 1 deb per firmware ? Seems like a lot ;)
[18:18] <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...
[18:58] <juergh> How would you download what you need if your NIC needs fw that you don't have yet? :-)
[18:59] <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.
[20:05] <JanC> juergh: that's why install media would need to have them too, of course
[20:06] <JanC> but like I sadi before: "only copy what's needed"
[20:06] <JanC> *said*
