Description ¶
according to firmware page user should clone
git clone https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git
but that does not work, it gives
thomas@lfs-x86_64:~$ git clone https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git Klone nach 'linux-firmware'... Schwerwiegend: Repository 'https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/' nicht gefunden
(Fatal: Repository <url> not found)
Pointing the browser to that url, it redirects to https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/tree/
For git clone, this one works:
thomas@lfs-x86_64:~$ git clone https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git Klone nach 'linux-firmware'... remote: Enumerating objects: 17687, done. remote: Counting objects: 100% (26/26), done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (26/26), done. remote: Total 17687 (delta 6), reused 0 (delta 0), pack-reused 17661 Empfange Objekte: 100% (17687/17687), 781.68 MiB | 8.85 MiB/s, fertig. Löse Unterschiede auf: 100% (11341/11341), fertig. Aktualisiere Dateien: 100% (3138/3138), fertig. thomas@lfs-x86_64:~$ du -sh linux-firmware/ 1,7G linux-firmware/
Pointing the browser to that URL (without /tree) shows a list of tarballs like linux-firmware-20230919.tar.gz ready to download.
Wouldn't that be more convenient than cloning via git?

I think the book URL (https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/tree/) is intended for users to click on the "plain" links to download a single firmware file, instead of the full repo. Downloading single files is more convenient then cloning or downloading a entire tarball for most LFS builders because they don't distribute the system onto different hardware.
