From f3ecec38aa8ae4137b1a0e11b925d0e736e8ffda Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Peter A. Bigot" Date: Thu, 10 May 2018 19:33:45 -0500 Subject: linux-firmware: restore and merge bluez-firmware The attempt to Raspbian updated firmware blobs in packages separate from linux-firmware introduced unresolvable conflicts with the standard linux-firmware roll-up package. Revert to using an augmented linux-firmware recipe that overrides and adds firmware from two Raspbian repositories that have up-to-date images. Closes #244 Signed-off-by: Peter A.
