Where has broadcom-wl package gone? [Solved]

Removed quote as I cannot find it from searching online. As broadcom-wl package was removed from repos can say that it has been replaced by broadcom-wl-dkms... Wiki is yet to be updated to reflect this.

Arch media still includes broadcom-wl on latest iso image.

Currently broadcom-wl-dkms does not build using latest archiso scripts.

Hopefully a fix will be made soon.

that's the removing commit

Usually gitlab commits have comments or are linked to issues, MR's or RFC's but I can't fine anything.

Not going to worry too much about it, Arch has removed broadcom-wl package in the past. I for one cannot get iso image to build with dkms version. Will check archiso build configs.

https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/ … type=heads

It is still part of releng config...

Re: Where has broadcom-wl package gone? [Solved]

I'm assuming it was removed because it doesn't build; see archlinux/packaging/packages/broadcom-wl-dkms#2.
If broadcom-wl is not restored after that issue is fixed, I'll remove it from releng's packages.x86_64.

Edit:
The build issue was fixed and broadcom-wl is back in extra again.

Re: Where has broadcom-wl package gone? [Solved]

Thank you will mark thread as solved... I could not build iso using archiso with broadcom-wl-dkms... it is not happy to work under chroot.

May simply have been kernel update but I could not find anything.

Archiso lives again ;-)
