Jeff suggested on the Wiki that the HostMot2 firmware images be split out into their own .debs: <http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/emcinfo.pl?Emc2PackagesRedesign>
I added three new .debs: emc2-firmware, emc2-firmware-mesa-5i20-hostmot2, and emc2-firmware-mesa-7i43-hostmot2. emc2.deb Recommends emc2-firmware. This means emc2-firmware gets installed by default if the user installs emc2.deb via apt, but the user can uninstall emc2-firmware without breaking emc2.deb emc2-firmware installs no files of its own, but Recommends the per-board firmware .debs. Each of the two per-board firmware .debs installs all the .BITs and .PINs for that board. The end result is that users get all firmware by default, but they can uninstall the firmwares for any boards they dont want. Seem reasonable? If there's buy-off on this scheme, i'll add .debs for the other 4 Mesa hostmot2 boards. -- Sebastian Kuzminsky what i like best about 12648430 is the coffee ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Emc-developers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers
