Been playing with how I'd make the kernel package deal with the new 'make firmware_install' stuff. Currently looks something like this.
I suspect that (for now) we should make the kernel binary packages depend on kernel-firmware?
Yeah, seems the sanest thing to do at least initially, so people don't suddenly wind up with non-functional devices.
Should the package own the /lib/firmware/ directory?
Not quite sure. udev owns it right now. Could have multiple ownership so as to not Requires: udev. Could possibly be something that should move to the filesystem package. I think I might lean toward making that directory owned by filesystem, so you have singular ownership and both udev and kernel-firmware can use it without either one explicitly requiring the other.
