Re: Backport of linux-nonfree to bookworm?

You might want to consider to use upstream's python script to build
an up-to-date firmware package for Debian. Clone

	git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git

check out the most recent tag, and run the script, eg

	% cd linux-firmware
	% git checkout 20240811
	% env TMPDIR=/local/tmp ./build_packages.py --deb
	 dpkg-source --before-build .
	 debian/rules clean
	 debian/rules binary
	 dpkg-genbuildinfo --build=binary -O../linux-firmware-upstream_20240811_amd64.buildinfo
	 dpkg-genchanges --build=binary -O../linux-firmware-upstream_20240811_amd64.changes
	 dpkg-source --after-build .
	Built package: dist/linux-firmware-upstream_20240811_all.deb

TMPDIR should be set because the package is pretty huge and /tmp
might not fit. AFAICT this package can be installed without conflict
to the other firmware packages.
