A new release of wireless-regdb (master-2023-09-01) is available at:

https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/network/wireless-regdb/wireless-regdb-2023.09.01.tar.xz

The short log of changes since the master-2022-05-03 release is below.

As previously announced, I am stepping down as the maintainer of wireless-regdb effective today. This is the last release I plan to do, and currently there is no new maintainer for the project.

Thanks,
Seth

As previously announced, I am stepping down as the maintainer of wireless-regdb effective today. This is the last release I plan to do, and currently there is no new maintainer for the project.

I'd like to take up maintainership.

As far as I know, I would need to:

1. Make a clone of the repository on git.kernel.org under my own namespace.
2. Generate a key pair and certificate
3. Put the certificate into the kernel tree
4. Update the docs to point to the new repository and certificate
5. Review incoming patches and apply them
6. Tag releases timely

I'm not sure if I missed anything.

Thanks

Thanks for volunteering! Sorry I didn't get respond sooner, this thread was buried kinda deep in my inbox so I didn't notice your message right away.

That's the bulk of it. Most of the time is spend validating proposed changes against the government documents. There's also maintaining the tools to build the database and moderating the mailing list, but neither of those are much effort.

Johannes will be the one who needs to accept your key into the kernel, so we should wait for a +1 from him at least before we really get the ball rolling.

Thanks,
Seth

I managed to get some support internally for the validation part. I should be able to lean on our WiFi team or external partners if docs provided are insufficient.

One thing I forgot to ask. After a release is tagged, is there some magic bot that produces a tarball and uploads it to kernel.org? Or is that a manual process?

+Johannes for his opinion.

Thanks!

Releases tarballs are produced using kup [1]. It's not quite automatic, but with some simple scripting it's pretty close.

Johannes, we haven't heard from you. Let us know if you have any objections, otherwise I'm going to start moving forward on this.
