FYI...wireless-regdb.git has been updated with the recent patches
from Michael, Luis, and Pavel. In particular the Makefile is much
better than I had previously left it. :-)
It is about time (or past time) that we start pushing distributions to
pick-up CRDA and either their own version of wireless-regdb or just
pull the version I am publishing. I think our wireless regulatory
compliance mechanisms are a lot more flexible than what other systems
are offering -- it is time to get it into the hands of users and get
userland apps (e.g. NetworkManager) to take advantage of it.
Thanks,
John

Probably a good idea, but I didn't put that one there. I think that is Luis IIRC...?
Anyway, everyone should pull again -- I forgot to push the updated
regulatory.bin yesterday...oops!

Actually this defeats the purpose of separating the packages, so never
mind. It should help packaging wireless-regdb somehow I suppose
though.

To confirm, Gentoo has both CRDA & your published wireless-regdb in the
portage tree and is actively following your releases through this list.

It is -- seems it hadn't run yet, scheduled to run at 06:10 CET (its
now 18:51 CET), I manually ran it, but also changed it to not have
"master" prefix in the tarball releases.

Additionally for those distributions packaging based on John's
regulatory.bin I've put a regulatory.bins dir with just the
regulatory.bin files in it. You will also find a
latest-regulatory-info.txt which tells you the latest regulatory.bin
file used and its SHA1 sum. latest-regulatory.bin is a symlink to this
file. I'll set CRDA to pull this latest file upon building too by
default.

I thought it was updated nightly?

Yeah I won't do it, thanks.

Workin' on it... My intent is to have CRDA/REGDB packaged and ready in
time for Jaunty (April '09). I'm just getting started this week.

I'd be pleased if that wasn't the default for make all. We explicitly
separate fetching sources and compiling/installing. (And sources are
hashed to confirm integrity)
Otherwise I'd have to patch that out of the Makefile each time.

Do you plan to push a new tarball to [1]?
