[OpenWrt-Devel] [PATCH] brcm2708-gpu-fw: revert to github releases, adapt to bcm2708 target changes and add back InstallDev

[Álvaro Fernández Rojas]

Here's another solution:
We tag releases on a forked repository and we upload tar files to Github with only the files we need:
https://github.com/openwrt-es/raspberrypi-firmware/releases/tag/20150213

This way the downloaded files are ~4MB:
https://github.com/openwrt-es/raspberrypi-firmware/releases/download/20150213/raspberrypi-firmware-47bd0f0f46bc053d8e21655e3a69c4a73ae19b41.tar.gz

Package diff:

What do you think?
