Package: afbinit
Severity: serious
Tags: patch
Hello,
Afbinit installation fails when installing for the first time. The main
problem is that firmware miss is fatal, but I guess we should be able to
install the package first, then read README.Debian to figure out how to
get the firmware.
Here is a small patch against current sid package that do not fail if
the firmware is not present, check if it's the right one (md5) and a
minor README.Debian with more informations about how to grab the microcode.
Thanks in advance,
Best regards, Adam.
