Intel SOF audio firmware packaging
Hi Debian,
I'd like to solve the lack of Intel SOF audio firmware & topology files
being available on Debian - I know it's impacting a lot of users on some
of the newer Thinkpads. I figured I should have a stab at this exercise
myself and see what happens.
I did a bit of reading this weekend, and started the process. Having
created appropriate files under a debian sub-dir, and messed around a
bit, now when running 'debuild -us -uc' from the 1.6 cloned branch of
the sof-bin git repo I end up with a .deb file that I can install and
makes audio work. Feels like progress :)
There are plenty of warnings along the way, and it's my first time doing
this so I'm sure I'm doing all sorts of things wrong (there seems like a
lot of different options on how to do this); but I figured I have a good
starting point. I wasn't sure where to go with this next.
Is there anybody in the Debian community with the expertise to spend a
bit of time guiding me through the next steps? I think I need someone
who can review what I have done and point out where it needs
fixing/improving. Once it's good enough then I think I need someone to
help me actually get it uploaded and into Debian. There is a bug already
available (https://bugs.debian.org/960788) if that helps. Obviously
happy to share all the work I've done in an appropriate format if that
helps too.
Note - I'm new to packaging, I'm not a SOF expert and I'm not a DM or a
DD - so someone with patience for dumbass questions would be a bonus.
Thanks in advance
Mark
