[fedora-arm] Re: Fedora 29 new U-Boot/arm-trusted-firmware and Raspberry Pi firmware heads up

Peter,

I have scanned update-uboot.  I am not really all that skilled at script
writing, but I get the drift that you need to provide a koji image name
to download and get the uboot directory.

It would seem to be 'cleaner' if the update testing repo had a uboot rpm
that could be installed to get all the forthcoming ubbot images?  Then
dd from there?

How is one to figure out which koji image to specify?

Seems like a great beginning of a great tool.
