Firmware replacements tend not to be great use cases for distro packaging, you would need to do different builds for every bit of hardware that needs to be supported, also a lot of people want different features/branches/usecases for each piece of hardware. Also you tend to need to have the pieces on another piece of hardware to flash it to the target device so it means it's not your usual "dnf install/upgrade" sort of target. It might make sense to package the tools provided by coreboot to make it easier to flash firmwares but even then I feel it provides limited value. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
