Of course module-assistant is a good method... but not for everybody. The average Debian user doesn't compile his own kernel. Therefore he has the right to claim for a module already compiled for his kernel. I don't know what you are saying about the ATI blob. I just want to compile the package already in Debian : fglrx-kernel-src Lennart Sorensen a écrit : On Sun, Apr 20, 2008 at 05:11:30AM +0200, Bertrand Marc wrote: Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Bertrand Marc [EMAIL PROTECTED] * Package name: fglrx-kernel-modules Version : 1:8-4-1 Upstream Author : ATI/AMD * URL : http://ati.amd.com/support/drivers/linux/linux-radeon.html * License : restricted Description : fglrx (ATI driver) kernel module build against the last kernel It is a simple package that provide the fglrx kernel module compiled for the last 2.6 kernel found in Debian.

Yes exactly. In fact, it seems it's not such a good idea to create a new package, but Daniel Baumann agreed to include it (with nvidia) in the package linux-modules-nonfree. To definitely include it, he is just waiting for the Fglrx maintainer team to rename the source package as fglrx-source (instead of fglrx-kernel-src) Bertrand Lennart Sorensen a écrit : On Mon, Apr 21, 2008 at 11:01:13PM +0200, Bertrand Marc wrote: Of course module-assistant is a good method... but not for everybody.

There would be no need of module-assistant to get (proprietary) 3D acceleration working. an extra package per module source is the wrong attempt, do not upload it. instead, the prebuild binary modules should be built on behalf of linux-modules-nonfree-2.6, please read http://blog.daniel-baumann.ch/2006/12/10#20061210_kernel-modules-packaging and consider sending a patch to add the definitions for fglrx.

Bug#476900: ITP: fglrx-kernel-modules -- fglrx (ATI driver) kernel module build against the last kernel
Hi, I'd like to patch this linux-nonfree package. I also see that there is a linux-modules-nonfree-2.6 here (and this is not referenced on the PTS): http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/kernel/dists/trunk/linux-modules-nonfree-2.6/debian/?rev=0sc=0 So first, wich one should be patched? FYI, here is my work on the module : http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-fglrx/fglrx-kernel-module/trunk/debian/?rev=0sc=0 It is quite ready to upload as an extra package. To include it, I think that it would be very simple. The only problem is that the name of the module source is fglrx-kernel-src and I understand you prefer *-source.

To include it, I think that it would be very simple. The only problem is that the name of the module source is fglrx-kernel-src and I understand you prefer *-source. that is a pre-condition prior a new upload of l-m-n-2.6; the module source packages must follow the common naming scheme. -- Address:Daniel Baumann, Burgunderstrasse 3, CH-4562 Biberist Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Internet: http://people.panthera-systems.net/~daniel-baumann/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Daniel Baumann a écrit : it is, see http://packages.qa.debian.org/linux-modules-nonfree-2.6 I'm sorry, I knew this link. I was talking about the SVN. There is no link on the PTS to the SVN. That's not important anyway. So I guess we have to change the name of the module source. I'm waiting for an answer from the other member of the Fglrx maintainer Team. I guess you would accept any name like this : *-source. Or maybe you absolutely want fglrx-source? fglrx-kernel-source? Do not hesitate to contact me if you want any kind of information or help packaging the module. But remember that I don't understand python... Regards, Bertrand

That's not important anyway. well, it is in the svn. but that version hasn't yet been uploaded as it's waiting for nvidia (or if fglrx is ready earlier, then for that).

Or maybe you absolutely want fglrx-source? fglrx-kernel-source? technically, it doesn't matter if it is fglrx-source or fglrx-kernel-source, both are fine. cosmetically, fglrx-source is more beautiful (which results in fglrx-modules-*) rather than fglrx-kernel-source (which results in fglrx-kernel-modules-*), as the latter sounds somehow redundant. Do not hesitate to contact me if you want any kind of information or help packaging the module. But remember that I don't understand python... the lmn is not the problem, but the fglrx-source (or fglrx-kernel-source) must be made compliant to it. -- Address:Daniel Baumann, Burgunderstrasse 3, CH-4562 Biberist Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Internet: http://people.panthera-systems.net/~daniel-baumann/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
