Is the updates directory really needed? I can't remember a usecase for it existing at all in Fedora. I think it was used for kernel module update RPMs in enterprise setups. I have never seen anything using it. As an argument to ship them: these directories are read by the kernel too: fw_path_para, "/lib/firmware/updates/" UTS_RELEASE, "/lib/firmware/updates", "/lib/firmware/" UTS_RELEASE, "/lib/firmware" in: drivers/base/firmware_class.c OK, fixed. Should be in tomorrow's Branched/Rawhide. In today's Branched/rawhide. |
Future udev will not handle any firmware requests or load any firmware file into the kernel. Please own the directories, systemd.rpm will give up the ownership soon. %dir %{_prefix}/lib/firmware %dir %{_prefix}/lib/firmware/updates Thanks!
