Jarod, Thorsten et al, couple of questions for you guys...
I've got so far as including the required license file in a (required)
-common package, and made a few fixes to make rpmlint happy. I also
included another patch to fix the vlanmode issue. Now I have a couple of
questions:
1) What should the package be called? I'm not thrilled with
"hybrid_wl-kmod" because I don't think it is descriptive to the
end-user. I suggest "broadcom-hybrid-wl-kmod" which keeps in tune with
an unofficial SUSE package and also seems to be more descriptive. Are
there any guidelines for this? Any suggestions?
2) The SRPM builds the following packages:
kmod-broadcom-hybrid-wl-5.10.27.6-2.fc9.x86_64.rpm
kmod-broadcom-hybrid-wl-2.6.26.6-79.fc9.x86_64-5.10.27.6-2.fc9.x86_64.rpm
broadcom-hybrid-wl-kmod-common-5.10.27.6-2.fc9.x86_64.rpm
broadcom-hybrid-wl-kmod-debuginfo-5.10.27.6-2.fc9.x86_64.rpm
I don't fully understand the first two - the second one contains the
actual kernel module but
a) why is the name of the second package formed like it is - I am
supposing that it is because it is built for a specific kernel version?
b) what is the first package for? it is empty!
Thanks
Chris
