Package Raspberry Pi Libraries

Project Description

The Raspberry Pi includes a number of proprietary libraries. These libraries are expected to be re-licensed under an open source license in the coming months. These libraries are to be packaged ready for inclusion in Fedora; until they are licensed under an open-source license, only the SRPMs will be released.

Project Leader(s)

Eugene Torre

Project Details

The expected outcome is a raspberrypi-firmware (or bcm2835-firmware) package containing the GPU firmware.

Note: The libray headers (-devel package) will/should be released in source form.

Goals

Goals for each release and plans for reaching those goals:

• 0.1

Successfully build the rpm libraries for the F17 release for the raspberry pi.

• 0.2

Successfully build the most recent rpm libraries for the F17 release for the raspberry pi. These libraries were acquired from the raspberry pi github.

• 0.3

A successful build of release 0.2 which can be successfully installed on F17 on a raspberry pi.
