That is good to know, thank you.
Thanks for the tips and advice, guys! I guess I should have explained
myself better -- my current goal is, of course, to make things work for me. And as the
next step I was thinking about a Copr repo, i.e. an equivalent of PPA/AUR. Then RPMFusion.
I haven't really started the work so I was trying to avoid effort duplication and
starting from zero in case somebody has already made some progress.
You are allowed to put FOSS kernel-modules (I believe the IPU6 kernel bits are FOSS, but
this needs to be double-checked) in COPR. But you are not allowed to put any non FOSS
software like some of the userspace bits in COPR, so COPR will not work to make the full
stack necessary available.
Note if you are already a Fedora packager then you are welcome to rpmfusion and
rpmfusion's workflow is (deliberatily) pretty close to Fedora's so there is almost
no learning curve.
Regards.
