Product: Fedora https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=904843 Bug ID: 904843 Summary: Review Request: acpica-tools - ACPICA tools for the development and debug of ACPI tables Product: Fedora Version: rawhide Component: Package Review Severity: medium Priority: unspecified Reporter: ahs3@xxxxxxxxxx Reason for Review: this is my very first Fedora package and I am seeking sponsorship Spec URL: http://fedorapeople.org/~ahs3/acpica-tools.spec SRPM URL: http://fedorapeople.org/~ahs3/acpica-tools-20130123-1.f18.src.rpm Description: The ACPI Component Architecture (ACPICA) project provides an OS-independent reference implementation of the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface Specification (ACPI). ACPICA code contains those portions of ACPI meant to be directly integrated into the host OS as a kernel-resident subsystem, and a small set of tools to assist in developing and debugging ACPI tables. This package contains only the user-space tools needed for ACPI table development, not the kernel implementation of ACPI. The following commands are installed: -- iasl: compiles ASL (ACPI Source Language) into AML (ACPI Machine Language), suitable for inclusion as a DSDT in system firmware. It also can disassemble AML, for debugging purposes. -- acpibin: performs basic operations on binary AML files (e.g., comparison, data extraction) -- acpiexec: simulate AML execution in order to debug method definitions -- acpihelp: display help messages describing ASL keywords and op-codes -- acpinames: display complete ACPI name space from input AML -- acpisrc: manipulate the ACPICA source tree and format source files for specific environments -- acpixtract: extract binary ACPI tables from acpidump output (see also the pmtools package) Fedora Account System Username: ahs3 NB: the intent would be for this package to supercede the iasl package which (a) only ships the iasl tool mentioned above from the same upstream source, and (b) is a little bit dated. This would be the more complete version of the ACPICA tools. NB: this package does work on x86_64; it may or may not work properly on i386 or ARM. Part of getting this package into Fedora is to provide for such additional testing and/or porting as needed. NB: the pmtools package contains an another version of acpixtract, also quite dated. The intent would be to either supercede it, or as shown in the spec file, have the version from this package as an alternative. The x86_64 version does have a clean scratch build (task #4906409). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
