Sounds better. Couldn't we still ship the firmware/FPGA source code in main though? Maybe in the future we might have a compiler?

Currently you just download a binary package, extract the files and give two commands. Could the script perhaps do some extra sanity checking? -Timo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
