[Bug 607760] Re: Merge alsa-firmware into linux-firmware

[David Henningsson]

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: linux-firmware
  
- Take what's left of alsa-firmware and try to merge it into linux-firmware. This will make alsa-firmware obsolete as all
- firmware will be provided by linux-firmware instead.
+ Take what's left of alsa-firmware and try to merge it into linux-
+ firmware. This will make alsa-firmware obsolete as all firmware will be

+ 
+ * Already in linux-firmware:
+ korg1212 / korg
+ maestro3 / ess
+ sb16 / sb16
+ wavefront / yamaha
+ ymfpci / yamaha
+ 
+ * The following should be OK to merge. The only questionmark is that the license say "Redistributable under GPL", but there is no source to the actual firmware. 
+ hdsploader / .
+ mixartloader / mixart
+ pcxhrloader / pcxhr
+ usx2yloader / .
+ vxloader / vx

  hdsploader / .
  mixartloader / mixart
  pcxhrloader / pcxhr
  usx2yloader / .
  vxloader / vx
+ 
+ * aica / . - Seems OK to merge (BSD license), it's ARM though
+ 
+ * asihpi / asihpi - Merged in ubuntu, but not upstream
+ 
+ * echoaudio / ea - Why does Medibuntu's alsa-firmware delete it when I
+ can't find it in linux-firmware? Needs further research
+ 
+ * emu / emu - Needs second opinion / legal review - Questionable whether
+ the copyright holder listed (James Courtier-Dutton
+ <James at superbug.co.uk>) is actually the true copyright holder of the
+ firmware.
+ 
+ * multisound / turtlebeach - this directory is empty so there is nothing
+ to merge.

** Changed in: linux-firmware (Ubuntu)
    Milestone: None => ubuntu-10.10
