Description

hello @MiCode folks

i am working on porting fedora linux to xiaomi pad 5 and xiaomi pad 6

fedora allows packaging non-free firmware as long as it is legally redistributable

here are our guidelines - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Firmware#Packaging_guidelines

and here are firmware blobs fetched from miui by postmarketos project:

so, can i please package your firmware as an rpm package and redistribute it?

please reply "yes"
