New page

== Vendor hardware repositories ==

=== Needed from vendor ===

* tar.gz or zip (marked B in the following) containing closed source bits provided to maemo.org
* EULA (E) for users of their devices to follow regarding the closed source bits.
* EULA should not limit Mer/Maemo variants/other device OS developers ability to repackage the bits for proper inclusion into Mer/Maemo variants/other device OS under scheme.
* List (L) for maemo.org containing valid MAC address/serial numbers that these closed source bits may be distributed to.
* Permission for maemo.org to distribute the tar.gz/zip and repackaged versions of the contained closed source bits under the EULA to the valid MAC address/serial numbers.

=== Flow chart for download system ===

[[Image:MerVendorRepositories_binaries.png]]

=== Procedure when proper information received from vendor ===

* maemo.org staff sets up download system with E and D as access restrictions
* maemo.org staff publishes B within download system
* Mer/Maemo variants/other device OS developer C, downloads B after accepting E and providing a valid MAC address/serial within list L based on his/her ownership of the device.
* C develops:
** Scripts/recipes that will generate Debian repository which will become the base repository token repositories will point to.
** Scripts/recipes that will generate firmware images based on base repository and open source images. Firmware images will ask for token upon startup at device in order to download.
** Provides these to maemo.org staff
* maemo.org staff activates scripts&recipes and sets up system linking token repositories to base repository.
* C and maemo.org staff continues updating scripts&recipe.

== Lists of closed source bits needed from vendors ==
