README
**WARNING: As of 2019, I do not have a MacBook Pro anymore. I've abandoned
this code, and I no longer update my Yum repositories on fedorapeople.org.**
(If you're looking for a Linux-friendly laptop, I'm really happy with my new
Levono X1 Carbon.)
This is the RPM packaging for the 3rd-party `facetimehd kernel module for
MacBook Pros `_.
Binary RPMs at https://ktdreyer.fedorapeople.org/macbook/
Using this repo
===============
To enable this Yum repository on your Fedora system, put the ``macbook.repo``
file into ``/etc/yum.repos.d``, like so::
curl https://ktdreyer.fedorapeople.org/macbook/macbook.repo | sudo tee /etc/yum.repos.d/macbook.repo
Installing for your running kernel version
==========================================
To install the kmod packages for the specific kernel version you're running,
run this DNF command as root::
dnf install kmod-wl-$(uname -r) kmod-facetimehd-$(uname -r)
What kernel versions are available?
===================================
I use a script ("``updates.py``") to build for the latest kernel in Fedora's
`updates-testing repository
`_.
To install the very latest kernel from Fedora's updates-testing repository on
to your computer, run this command as root::
dnf -y update --enablerepo=\*-testing
(... and if there is a newer Fedora kernel available, DNF will install it.)
Refreshing the cache
====================
I update this repository quite often, and sometimes DNF's local metadata cache
will become stale. To tell DNF to refresh its cache for this repo's data::
dnf --disablerepo='*' --enablerepo=ktdreyer-macbook makecache --refresh
