           Summary: Review Request: firmware-addon-dell - A firmware-tools
                    plugin to handle BIOS/Firmware for Dell systems
           Product: Fedora Extras

            Status: NEW

Spec URL: http://linux.dell.com/libsmbios/download/firmware-addon-dell/firmware-addon-dell-1.2.1/firmware-addon-dell.spec

SRPM URL: http://linux.dell.com/libsmbios/download/firmware-addon-dell/firmware-addon-dell-1.2.1/firmware-addon-dell-1.2.1-1.src.rpm

Description: 

The firmware-addon-dell package provides plugins to firmware-tools which enable
BIOS updates for Dell system, plus pulls in standard inventory modules
applicable to most Dell systems.

Note: rpmlint gives one bogus error: 
$ rpmlint firmware-addon-dell-1.2.1-1.noarch.rpm 
E: firmware-addon-dell explicit-lib-dependency libsmbios-bin

This is not an error because it is not an explicit lib dependency. The libsmbios-bin package has no libraries, just executables, which this plugin calls. The automatic dep generator does not find this dependency.
