Bug#1116128: [Emc-developers] Bug#1116128: linuxcnc-uspace: recommends hostmot2-firmware-all which is not in unstable

Show all headers | View raw

The package should not be on the list of recommends for the packages
in the official Debian repository, as the reference packages have
never been uploaded to Debian.

The package does exist on the separate linucnc.org repository (though
not currently for Trixie).

This package dates back to when LinuxCNC used to build Mesa Hostmot2
firmware packages, though this has not been the case for some time
now. (The package contents are still valid, but support an
increasingly outdated set of cards. The newer cards do not need to
load a config from /lib/firmware and so do not require the packages.)
