Hi,
Chase Douglas (@canonical) and I plan to take what's left of alsa-firmware and try to merge it into linux-firmware, this might happen now or in the coming weeks. This will make alsa-firmware obsolete as all firmware will be provided by linux-firmware instead.
Any words of disagreement, warnings or encouragement before we do so?
Please go ahead. I wanted to do it in this or next week anyway :)
But grab the very latest alsa-firmware from git tree. There was an update of asihpi firmwares.
We'll likely keep alsa-firmware as the "upstream", since it also provides the file installation for 2.2 / 2.4 kernels. But, once when files are merged to linux-firmware, we'll eventually forward any changes in future to linux-firmware tree to sync.
thanks,
Takashi
