It wasn't reviewable until just recently, because it had a dependency
on another package (b43-tools) which had to make it into the distro
first.  That only happened within the last couple of weeks.  There are
very, very many open review requests and it's difficult for anyone to
note all of the dependency changes.

That's absolutely no incentive to me; substitute Dr. Pepper or some
good tea, though  I have some free time today so I'll try to take
a look.

OpenFWWF and Fedora (please look at the review request...)

2009-06-27 Thread Richard Hughes
I've recently obtained a Dell Mini 10, which comes with the BCM4312
LP-PHY. Now, I know it can't work until the LP stuff is worked out,
but instead I've been looking at the firmware situation.

I knew the firmware was non-free. I didn't know there was a free
re-implementation called OpenFWWF. So, yum search OpenFWWF. This
turned up nothing. Google was more helpful. A package, waiting to be
reviewed for Fedora (with no comment) for over three months. This made
me sad.

The bug is here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=490892

I've not got the legal or technical understanding to approve or reject
this, so help wanted. I'm offering beer as a reward.

Thanks,

Richard.
