[tuxdroid-user] Including dfu-programmer in tuxsetup

[David B. <da...@ja...>]

Still working hard on the sleep and id update. Most stuff work now but  =

it's still very unstable due mainly to the new RF firmware.
I'd like to publish a preview of the firmwares on tomorrow so you can gi=
ve  =

it a shot if you want.

OTH I'm thinking about this major firmware update for lambda users. When=
  =

they just bought their tux, it seems they're quickly discouraged by the =
 =

firmware update procedure and some get into much troubles compiling and =
 =

installing dfu-programmer. tuxup already facilitates the use of  =

dfu-programmer but including a binary of dfu-programmer would remove tha=
t  =

burden.

A few questions:

- Is it a good idea?

- I guess we can freely redistribute dfu-programmer in a binary only  =

format, but I may be wrong. dfu-programmer is under GPL. Do I have to  =

attach a license file with the binary or display the license somewhere?

- If I compile it on my linux box, what is it supposed to run on? As lon=
g  =

as you have the dependencies, should it work on any computer or are ther=
e  =

other stuff to take into account? I'm thinking about BSD, OSX, ...

ldd /usr/local/bin/dfu-programmer
         linux-gate.so.1 =3D>  (0xffffe000)
         libusb-0.1.so.4 =3D> /lib/libusb-0.1.so.4 (0xb7f21000)
         libc.so.6 =3D> /lib/libc.so.6 (0xb7df9000)
         /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb7f43000)

Thanks,
