#81804 — Bug#1063554: firmware-linux-free: move files to /usr (DEP17)

Package: firmware-linux-free
Version: 20200122-2
Tags: patch
User: helmutg@debian.org
Usertags: dep17m2

Hi,

we want to finalize the /usr-merge transition by moving all aliased
files from / to /usr via DEP17 to avoid any negative effects arising
from aliasing. firmware-linux-free is involved, because it installs
firmware files below /lib/firmware. Since it cannot be converted
automatically using dh-sequence-movetousr, I'm attaching a patch. This
patch should not be uploaded to bookworm-backports or earlier. Also note
that firmware-carl9170 is in the process of taking over firmware from
firmware-linux-free and doing so will cause a file loss (DEP17 P1). This
is tracked as #1050989. I do not expect that firmware-linux-free needs
to support firmware-carl9170 in mitigating this.

Helmut

Before I do mess up: Ben did upload to experimental 20200122-3, which
runs dh_movetousr if available. Cf.

https://salsa.debian.org/kernel-team/firmware-free/-/commit/cdbadf48dd0250c88e60eba2e96ce45bbc42e59a

Is this actually enough?

Ack! So if that version does not show any problems in your testing for
the /usr-merge transition then I guess the next step is to move that
to unstable to facilitate your goal.

Salvatore
