Originally, the VideoCore IV GPU on the Pi was used with proprietary libraries which were only available in compiled form, so the raspberrypi-vc package was originally set up to package prebuilt binaries and not build from source. The source code for these libraries is now available, and the raspberrypi-vc package should be changed to build from source (this will help with SELinux compatibility).

Update the raspberrypi-config package

Project Description

The raspberrypi-config package contains the default configuration files for Pidora. These files need to be updated to reflect new options available in the Raspberry Pi firmware, as well as options that are not commonly used and may conflict with common use-cases - for example, the current configuration files cause kernel start-up messages to be reported on the serial port. This is rarely used, any may cause conflicts with other devices connected to that port (e.g., LCD displays).
