This is a wishlist in accordance with Task:Community_firmware_image_distribution

3rd party wishlist

The 3rd party determination has been done using https://garage.maemo.org/docman/view.php/106/354/maemopackages-20080725.ods. When a package name is mentioned and this package is a package containing links to files contained in initfs, the wish is for the actual files pointed to.

What is asked is the possibility to distribute firmware images (FIASCO images, jffs images, etc.) containing these 3rd party components from maemo.org to Nokia tablet users identified by their MAC address, in similar fashion to tablets-dev.nokia.com. What is also asked, is the ability to modify the Debian packaging (installation scripts and initialization scripts) of these packages if need be, to make it install and fit properly into the Mer system, but not to modify the actual closed source binaries or libraries.
