move wifi firmwares from haiku-files.org

[luroh]

The last remaining files still hosted at haiku-files.org needed for a current build seem to be the wifi firmwares, ​http://www.haiku-files.org/files/wifi-firmwares/

The files affected are: build/jam/OptionalPackages data/bin/install-wifi-firmwares.sh

[kallisti5]

Done.

​https://download.haiku-os.org/wifi-firmwares/

[kallisti5]

Wait... done as the files have been moved over. Not done since the scripts need updated :-)

https is fine for download.haiku-os.org

Is this a stale ticket that may be closed?

[luroh]

Nope.

[pulkomandy]

Should we use github.com/haiku/firmware for this? I wanted to move the files there but I apparently don't have commit access to that repo.

Some of the firmwares we are not even allowed to extract, and others have strict terms about distribution, so check the licenses carefully before doing so.

I'm talking about things that are already hosted at haiku-files, I assume things were done correctly there.

[kallisti5]

Never assume ;-)

Firmwares moved to github in hrev54488. Closing the ticket but indeed the marvell firmware situation is not great.
