Bug#159651: ITP: bluez-bluefw -- Firmware loader for BCM2003 Bluetooth devices



Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

* Package name    : bluez-bluefw
  Version         : 0.5
  Upstream Author : Maxim Krasnyansky <maxk@qualcomm.com>
* URL             : http://bluez.sf.net/
* License         : GPL
  Description     : Firmware loader for Broadcom BCM2003 Bluetooth devices

bluez-bluefw is a firmware loader for Bluetooth devices using the
Broadcom BCM2033 chipset.  This consists of two components:

(a) GPL'd software for loading the firmware
(b) The binary-only firmware itself (Broadcom have approved its
    distribution)

My intent is to make two packages, bluez-bluefw and
bluez-bluefw-firmware.  The latter would have to go into non-free, and
the former into contrib as it requires a non-free package to function.
