i'm currently trying to upgrade my kernel to the koji version to
test the new video drivers, but after i've downloaded the koji kernel
packages and try "yum localinstall", i'm told i'm missing the
corresponding "kernel-firmware" package.
so all i want to do is find the koji kernel-firmware package but
the obvious tricks don't work. i would have thought that going to
koji.fedoraproject.org and searching on "kernel-firmware" would do the
trick but i get no hits. what's the proper way to just *find* a koji
package given its name? thanks.
What I do to download the latest package from a specific tag (e.g.
dist-f11-updates-candidate) is:
# koji download-build --latestfrom dist-f11-updates-candidate --arch
i386 --arch i586 --arch x86_64 kernel
If you know a specific build id you want to download:
# koji download-build --arch i386 --arch i586 --arch x86_64 <build#>
You will need to adjust --arch accordingly I believe.
p.s. what's the point of that search box anyway? if i type in
"kernel", i get no hits. what's up with *that*?
It depends on what's selected in the drop down list (Packages, Builds,
Users, Tags etc...). If I search for "kernel" with Packages selected,
it takes me to
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=8.
When in doubt, add glob patterns. To search for anything gnome...
search for
"gnome*"
(
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/search?terms=gnome*&type=package&a...).
Thanks,
