Re: Januty

 

Adam,

Can you put your hal-applesmc package in the mactel ppa?

So the dependancy has been removed for the package bcm5974, but is this still required for other series such as Intrepid? If this is the case we still need to depend on usbhid for Intrepid?

I really should stick the new packages I created in the PPA!

Someone today said that bcm5974-dkms depends on usbhid-dkms, and someone
here has already said that that package was not needed anymore on
jaunty. Can someone look into that?



After much testing, the conclusion is that there no longer is any point for bcm5974 to depend on usbhid or any other external dkms package. Here
is an excerpt from the git log of the just uploaded version:

commit 9ef004eb41fe5e2b087d61b00e3963fad97e6332
Author: Henrik Rydberg <rydberg@xxxxxxxxxxx>

   Removed dependency on usbhid

   In 2.6.28, the only additional configuration needed is for the new
macbooks using the wellspring3 device. The configuration is already
   upstream, in a stalled commit ac26fca3 which is in hid-core, not
   usbhid. Since jaunty comes with hid built in, there is no need or
   possibility to use dkms for the configuration, but one must resort
   to other methods.

   Signed-off-by: Henrik Rydberg <rydberg@xxxxxxxxxxx>

The "other method" could possibly be to specify a hid quirk
on the boot line somehow, or to use some dynamic parameter scheme.

Cheers,
Henrik
