Hello all, I've reworked the drm ports and the gpu-firmware ports, here is what changed : - For CURRENT users there is no more drm-current-kmod or drm-devel-kmod but two new ports drm-54-kmod and drm-510-kmod which tracks drm from Linux 5.4 and 5.10 respectively. If you used the metaport nothing will change for you, the new pkg will be installed automatically. - For 13.0 users nothing changed. - For (futur) 13.1 users the default drm kmod port will still be drm-fbsd13-kmod (tracking Linux 5.4) as long as 13.0 is supported. But you also have the option to install directly drm-510-kmod in case you hardware isn't supported in 5.4 - For stable/13 users, you can use either 54 or 510 but I suggest you use 510 and only switch back to 54 if you have some problems. For the gpu firmwares it's now in multiple packages. Each GPU brand is in it's own flavored ports. This means that you can install only the firmware that you need on one machine and avoid installing 200MB+ of useless things. None of the new drm ports depend on gpu-firmware-kmod ports for this reason but the drm-kmod metaport does so if you don't know what firmware you should have (if any) just do this. Let me know if there is any problems that I overlook with this approch. Cheers, -- Emmanuel Vadot <manu@bidouilliste.com> <manu@FreeBSD.org>
