[RPM Fusion] Issue with fedora's openssl package for libbluray/libaacs
by Nicolas Chauvet
Hi,
As you may know, the libaacs package from RPM Fusion rely on openssl
functions that have been disabled in the fedora package for some
reason.
This lead the libaacs package to be partially unuseable for it's target usage.
I would like to list what would be possible workarounds for this
issue. We likely need to build a openssl-freeworld package:
- Build a similar package and drop a file in ld.conf.d to make it
system wide ? (the freetype-freeworld way)
This seems unpractical as we may produce unknown behavior and
un-certified code path with others applications.
- Build a shared object with another SONAME so packages liked with the
freeworld version will not conflict with package linked with the
fedora version.
(It will eventually be possible to relink the so to the the fedora
SONAME manually in a second step).
- Build the freeworld version statically.
The question to sync the patch between fedora and RPM Fusion VCS is a
big question until we move to git, so I hope that progress will be
made in this area soon.
If not we may experiment an openssl-freeworld to be possibily behind
the fedora version.
Any thoughts on that ?
Nicolas (kwizart).

Description:
These packages contain x86_64 Broadcom's IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n hybrid Linux device
driver for use with Broadcom's BCM43142-based hardware also known as Broadcom
bcm4365 or Dell 1704 wireless device.

rpmlint wl-bcm43142-kmod-6.20.55.19-1.fc18.src.rpm
1 packages and 0 specfiles checked; 0 errors, 0 warnings.
Package not eligible to be included in Fedora as it contains some
non-modifiable binary.
As the maintainer of the actual wl-kmod package for rpmfusion, a user asked me
if I could provide the last broadcom wireless drivers for BCM43142-based
hardware, because this chipset is not driven by the actual package. He pointed
me to the actual maintainer site of this package for Debian, and these packages
(broadcom-wl-bcm43142 review request will follow) are largely inspired from
this site (http://jas.gemnetworks.com/wireless-bcm43142/).
The original package was shipped with Ubuntu's Dell laptop, but as far as I
know (digging the Web for 2 days) neither Broadcom or Dell provided on their
websites any sources for this driver. The only source cited by the Debian
packager is actually this site:
http://wielki.tk/vostro/
According to message #60 in this thread
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=688823#60, Broadcom will not
update the official Broadcom STA driver (aka 5.100.82.112) as the new one was a
Dell/Ubuntu specific only.
While preparing these packages, I had to make some choices and I wonder if
someone could review and comment them if needed:
1.
These new package are x86_64 architecture only. Broadcom/Dell didn't provided
any binary library for i386 (32 bits) platform. I had to make these packages
x86_64 platform only by adding a "ExclusiveArch: x86_64" directive in the SPEC
file, and adding checking in the %prep section of this file too. Is this
correct?
2.
As this new driver doesn't work with some older Broadcom chipset (mine is
bcm4313 and doesn't work with it for example) that still work correctly with
5.100.82.112 driver, I didn't choice to use conflict directive in the SPEC
file. If one has a new chipset in his laptop and plug-in an old one via USB
port the problem will be unsolvable. I preferred to rename the new build module
with a different name to let users deal with there configuration more smoothly
(I hope that modifying some udev rules might be necessary to get them working).
So the new build module was rename from wl.ko to wl_bcm43142.ko at build time.
Is this correct, or am I wrong?
3.
As stated by all the users owning such laptop and wanting to upgrade their
original Ubuntu 11.10 to the last 12.04 or 12.10, this chipset is hybrid but
actually no bluetooth is working. Some efforts are made by Ubuntu developers to
get it working, but for the moment this part of the chipset is not supported
(see
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/863051/+index?commen...).
What is the best thing to do to inform users of such a limitation in this
package?
4.
After all, is it worth packaging this driver?
I can provide rawhide SPEC and SRPMS files if needed.
I plan to make it available since F-17 if accepted.
Same request made for the broadcom-wl-bcm43142 package.
As I do not own myself such a device, I would not be able to test new packages
as they would be build. Are there any volunteers to achieve this task?
Last question: as I'm already a rpmfusion packager, but not so experienced, do
I need a sponsor?
Thanks in advance for your comments.
Cordially,

*Explain for each message why you've chosen to ignore it: The spelling errors
are not correct as typed. I do not understand the warning on line 3 or on line
4. The warning on line 6 refers to my use of tabs throughout in the main body
of the spec file but not in my %post scriptlet.
