== Detailed Description == The `linux-firmware` RPM is very large (175M src.rpm, 287M *.noarch.rpm per 20211027-126) that bundles most of the system firmware loaded by the kernel, regardless of whether it’s actually needed. Some additional firmwares are already split up into individual subpackages. This change would extend that, splitting out most firmare into appropriate subpackages. The Change would also make the subpackages `Supplements` the appropriate `modalias(...)` for the hardware they support and `Provides` `firmware(kmodname/firmwarefile.bin)`
Wow, I wanted this for loong time. Thank you for doing this.
A DNF plugin will be written to make use of the `Supplements` metadata to automatically install the appropriate firmware packages based on the hardware present on the system (see openSUSE's `libzypp`: https://github.com/openSUSE/libzypp/blob/a34d857dbe3b16d4a7e0219cd213cc5a87966538/zypp/target/modalias/Modalias.cc and https://github.com/openSUSE/libzypp/blob/7f345ea4892fd02345e8de47c2a08ab5b174650b/doc/autoinclude/Modalias.doc)
Can this be paired with simple command line tool which will "just" print the appropriate packages? It would be usefull in e.g., creating Ansible playbooks for the machine.
