[ptxdist] Building/fetching kernel firmware

[wim vinckier]

Hi ptx,

I'm wondering if there's a default way in ptx to build or fetch the
kernel firmware.  Does anyone has any suggestion?

Kind regards,

wim.

You also can fetch one specific file instead of the whole tree (just
setup the URL so that it points to the file you need)

I was hoping there was a default way to fetch the useful kernel
modules from http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git
but it seems like there isn't one.  Fetching the whole tree is just a
little to much for my system.  I already have a package which just
copies the firmware from my working system but fetching the firmware
from is projectroot is a better idea.  Thanks for the suggestion.

There is no predefined rule for that. Just drop the firmware file into
projectroot/ and write a rule for it with "ptxdist newpackage file".
