As an end user I find that slightly confusing to have so many different permutations. I would find it less confusing to do your original way and drop the "hybrid" altogether:

"kmod-wl" for the kmod package
"broadcom-wl" for the "userland" package

Sounds good.

which provides broadcom-wl-common = %{version}-%{release}

That nevertheless needs to provide "wl-kmod-common = %{version}-%{release}" to satisfy the dep that automatically (by the dark magic from kmodtool) gets added to each kmod package; but the user normally won't see that.

Hi Thorsten

I have done this, but just to be clear, does this mean that xxx-kmod-common is automatically added as a dependency to any xxx-kmod package, and if so, is it safe to remove

Requires: %{name}-common = %{version}-%{release}

from the spec file? Also, if that is the case, what if there was no xxx-kmod-common package actually required? (this package only needs one because of the requirement to bundle the license.txt)

Regardless, I've made some changes and put a review request in: https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=96

Best
Chris
