Subject: [PATCH] Fixup deb-pkg target to generate separate firmware deb.
Date: Fri, 12 Sep 2008 12:20:42 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080912112042.GX30927@earth.li> (raw)
The below is a simplistic fix for "make deb-pkg"; it splits the firmware
out to a linux-firmware-image package and adds an (unversioned) Suggests
to the linux package for this firmware.
Frans, does this solve your problem in an acceptable manner?
