Just curious about firmware packages
by Steve Dickson 24 Apr '26

24 Apr '26

Hello, I just did up upgrade of Fedora 43 and I got the following firmware packages amd-gpu-firmware tiwilink-firmware realtek-firmware qcom-wwan-firmware nvidia-gpu-firmware linux-firmware iwlwifi-mvm-firmware libertas-firmware mt7xxx-firmware atheros-firmware iwlwifi-mld-firmware brcmfmac-firmware cirrus-audio-firmware intel-audio-firmware iwlegacy-firmware intel-gpu-firmware The machine is a Intel NUC (12 core Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10710U CPU @ 1.10GHz) So do I really need firmware for amd-gpu or brcmfmac or iwlegacy etc... The bottom line... Do I really need all these firmware packages? steved.

Hi, we tested your kernel and here are the results: Overall result: PASSED Merge: OK Compile: OK Test: OK Tested-by: CKI Project <cki-project(a)redhat.com> Kernel information: Brew / Koji Task ID: 144566329 You can find all the details about the test run at https://datawarehouse.cki-project.org/kcidb/checkouts/redhat:koji-144566329 If you find a failure unrelated to your changes, please ask the test maintainer to review it. This will prevent the failures from being incorrectly reported in the future. Please reply to this email if you have any questions about the tests that we ran or if you have any suggestions on how to make future tests more effective. ,-. ,-.

The kernel-ark os-build branch has been rebased
by Justin Forbes 14 Apr '26

14 Apr '26

Please rebase any pending MRs and repush. As we have done since 5.15, we have done this again for os-build, we expect to keep it up as a cadence with every upstream release. This means we will do it again when 7.1 releases, and again with 7.2... It is difficult to manage a regularly rebased tree, because any outstanding MR is invalidated and has to also be rebased. But not doing somewhat regular rebases can also be difficult in the spirit of the openness that Fedora is based upon. While there are plenty of ways to see which patches we carry compared to upstream, some of those patches are fairly old, and would not apply cleanly at all to a modern tree after several releases were merged in with them. As we have gotten into a flow of things with merge requests, we can get to the point of very few outstanding MRs towards the end of a release cycle, and that makes it an opportune time to rebase the tree. This also means that the patches we carry should be no more than 1 release out of date, making them easier to apply to various other trees. I do realize that this is a minor inconvenience every 2-3 months, but I believe the results are worth it. Thanks, Justin
