I think we will continue to build/ship linux-firmware package in the archive for s390x.
However, I think we want to drop the dependencies from src:linux-meta on s390x such that linux-firmware is not pulled-in or installed by default. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux-firmware in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1867656 Title: The need for the linux-firmware package on s390x Status in Ubuntu on IBM z Systems: Triaged Status in linux-firmware package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: As far as we understand all firmware upgrades (and the firmware itself) is coming from the HMC on case of IBM Z and LinuxONE. This not only incl. the CEC code, but also all the firmware for the different cards and adapters. If this is the case (and will be in future), it would make sense for us to get rid of the linux-firmware package for s390x - this would make things leaner, reduce size and eventually increase (installation) performance ... So please IBM can you confirm that all firmware updates (MCLs) are always done via the HMC and that is therefore the linux-firmware package is obsolete on s390x?
