[arch-dev-public] linux-firmware package, some thoughts

Hi guys, lately did a lot of archboot hacking and stumbled over our firmware package. It needs installed 750 MB, download size is 130 MB. I tried to get it smaller and uploaded the archboot-linux-firmware package for my purposes. Our linux kernel needs only 180 MB installed size, download size is about 37 MB. Wouldn't it make sense to provide for each kernel we ship, a separate firmware package? Just my 2 cwnts, greetings tpowa -- Tobias Powalowski Archlinux Developer & Package Maintainer (tpowa) http://www.archlinux.org tpowa@archlinux.org
