+Title: sys-boot/raspberrypi-firmware will not install device tree files
+Author: Andrey Utkin <andrey_utkin@gentoo.org>
+Content-Type: text/plain
+Posted: 2019-11-25
+Revision: 2
+News-Item-Format: 1.0
+Display-If-Installed: sys-boot/raspberrypi-firmware
+
+sys-boot/raspberrypi-firmware up to and including version 1.20190709
+installed files /boot/*.dtb and /boot/overlays/*. Newer versions will no
+longer install these files.
+
+These files will be installed by sys-kernel/raspberrypi-image package.
+
+If you do not use sys-kernel/raspberrypi-image, you need to install
+these files according to the method you use to install the kernel. For
+installation from source, this can be done with such commands:
+
+ make dtbs
+ cp -v arch/arm64/boot/dts/broadcom/*.dtb /boot/
+ cp -rv arch/arm64/boot/dts/overlays/ /boot/
+
+This change is being made to enable arm64 users and custom kernels users
+to use sys-boot/raspberrypi-firmware package.
