[Bug 1101636] Re: LICENSE.aic94xx-seq in linux-firmware - is this firmware distributable?

 

Hello Timothy, or anyone else affected,

Accepted linux-firmware into precise-proposed. The package will build
now and be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-
firmware/1.79.15 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to
enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this update
out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag
from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the
bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to
verification-failed.  In either case, details of your testing will help
us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance!

  I think this is a bug right? :)
