b43-fwcutter-013-i486-1pw.txz + SLKBUILD for b43-firmware
Re: b43-fwcutter-013-i486-1pw.txz + SLKBUILD for b43-firmware
Don't worry, it's all alright here, I just did what I've done here (+ "upgraded" the package after I reloaded the repository database with gslapt)
My question is, will there be a package for 32-bit parallel to the newly 64-bit?

Of course. I only upload one package for which ever architecture I'm using because who ever authorises it (usually gapan) compiles a package for the other architecture anyway.zAchAry wrote:My question is, will there be a package for 32-bit parallel to the newly 64-bit?
When I get around to it, I will start uploading both myself to save time.

I'm considering using curses menus for the install-b43-firmware script and adding the function to uninstall any existing packages.
I have very little experience with this so it might take a while..

How long will it take, though?
Will it postpone the official release time?
Please add a "check" (detection) if a ncurses is available (chances for that are low, but! SalixOS does have its Core Installation mode) and if not, continue with the current script (thus ncurses should be labeled as a Suggests Package and NOT as a Required Dependency Package)

On second thoughts I'll probably do this at a later date. I'm going to have to invest more time to it than I first expected.
I'll run with what we've got and see what the response is.
Edit: Package update proposal submitted

/etc/rc.d/rc.b43 is the service script I wrote (and you tested) that will load and unload the b43 module as well as disable anything pertaining to the installation of my broadcom-sta package.
/etc/rc.d/desc.d/b43.txt provides the name, description and daemon (if one exists) information for the service and servicesetup tools.
I doubt I'll need to update either of these files now but if I do it will be required and not optional!

LOL! That was awesome!
If everything is working properly then please visit the b43 IRC channel and
ask psycho_oreos to add the instructions to get b43 to work on SalixOS.
