b43-fwcutter and b43-firmware
Re: b43-fwcutter and b43-firmware
Cleaned up doinst.sh.
This should be the last time I mess with this until there's version update.

I got the following files:pwatk wrote:This package has been updated to include an rc.b43 script. Please remove any references to the b43, ssb, wl or lib80211 kernel modules from the bottom of your /etc/rc.d/rc.modules or /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist files (if they exist) before installing any future packages.
* /etc/rc.d/rc.modules which is a shortcut to /etc/rc.d/rc.modules-2.6.33.4-smp (link)
* /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf (link)

Re: b43-fwcutter and b43-firmware
Sorry. Yes those are the correct files I'll amend my post.
Your looking for this at the bottom of your rc.modules file:
...and this in your blacklist.conf file:

Re: b43-fwcutter and b43-firmware
I have non of those as you can see (two links above)
Is it safe to install the SLKBUILDs now?
I've installed your first (I think) SLKBUILDs that you've posted

Re: b43-fwcutter and b43-firmware
I'll try to remember to write a script to remove the relevant lines if they exist.
It only applies to anyone who installed more recent versions of the b43-firmware package i.e. in the last week.

DO NOT forget to create a .BAK (backup) files of the already existing ones if something will get messed up.pwatk wrote:I'll try to remember to write a script to remove the relevant lines if they exist.
But I'm sure that you're savvy enough for both, making a backup and doing a perfect job.
Should there really be a backup?
I'm really paranoid when system files are involved... sorry about that.

So you should be. This problem wouldn't exist if I hadn't started writing to these files in the first place!Should there really be a backup?

That said deleting those two files (and the rc.modules--2.6.33.4{,-smp}) and reinstalling the udev and kernel-modules{,-smp} packages would also solve the problem but thats a bit drastic.

dependencies:
You did not mentioned in your .dep files anything.
I've already forgot which depends on which. [Edit: b43-firmware requires b43-fwcutter]

I've finished to build the .txz packages with slkbuild -X and I'm wondering
why the md5sums of my .txz files aren't in accord with yours?

b43-fwcutter is a build dependency but it isn't required after that!zAchAry wrote:What could you do instead? (curious)pwatk wrote:This problem wouldn't exist if I hadn't started writing to these files in the first place!

I can see your point though so I'll put it in the dep file later (or tomorrow now).
Could be a difference in the rate of compression, I don't know. Compare the build logs.zAchAry wrote:md5sum:

Don't be, your the only person testing this so I appreciate the feedback.zAchAry wrote:I'm sorry for asking so many questions.
I'm going to update this again (probably tomorrow now) so the removal of the aforementioned lines in blacklist.conf and rc.modules are handled by the package installation.
I also need to add in a command to remove the executable bit (chmod 644) from /etc/rc.d/rc.broadcom-sta (if it exists) as this could cause issues for people who install both packages whilst trying to get their wireless working.
Finally, from now on if I update the package I will increment the release number of the package.
Example:
b43-firmware-4.178.10.4-fw-1pw.txz
b43-firmware-4.178.10.4-fw-2pw.txz
I was doing this but I stupidly reset everything when I updated all the scripts before uploading to people.salix.org!
