There are new releases marking the beginning of Linux-libre gen3 that should soon land in the repositories.
What changed: - deblob-main now creates lzip's .lz tarballs in addition to bzip2's .bz2 - fix e100 driver so that it works again with cards that could use but that don't require non-Free firmware - disable Radeon, R128 and MGA gpu drivers again, as in gen1. Linux-libre radeon driver just doesn't work without firmware, breaking the Xorg radeon driver. Not having the kernel driver actually enables the X driver to work, at least to some extent. - fix assorted deblobbing errors that prevented builds on some specific configurations, and that let through a few non-Free firmware names in code and documentation, particularly WIMAX i2400m. There are other changes to deblob-check in preparation for 2.6.30, for the 2.6.26- backports, and in preparation for a switch to another scripting machinery, in pursuit of faster deblobbing. Nothing functional yet, but significant changes to the regexps were made to ease the mechanical conversion between different regexp syntaxes. -- Alexandre Oliva, freedom fighter http://FSFLA.org/~lxoliva/ You must be the change you wish to see in the world. -- Gandhi Be Free! -- http://FSFLA.org/ FSF Latin America board member Free Software Evangelist Red Hat Brazil Compiler Engineer _______________________________________________ linux-libre mailing list [email protected] http://www.fsfla.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-libre
