Ping? Jon - still alive? Could you please fix this bug report soon? Thanks... Ping? The two directories are not really doing the same thing - this package handles microcode, not the same kind of firmware that the kernel is looking for. But I do get the point, we do patch microcode_ctl to change the location and that is open for some debate. I haven't forgotten about this issue, just I'm not sure what the best thing to do is just yet - I'll talk to davej/others a little for comments about why it became /etc/firmware in the first place so I know the history. Okay. And when it's /etc/firmware further on, then please OWN the stuff your package delivers (otherwise request filesystem package to add the /etc/firmware directory), please... ;-) I don't really have an opinion on where it comes from, as long as it works. Common, please :) Ping? PING? Sorry. I've added this to my TODO and will get it fixed. Jon. Will we get this into F8? Didn't even know this bug existed, but when doing some microcode_ctl work a week or two ago, I actually moved microcode.dat to /lib/firmware in rawhide. |
