Summary: Review Request: lshw - Hardware lister https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=251019 ------- Additional Comments From terjeros@xxxxxxxxxxxx 2007-08-13 15:04 EST ------- > The problem is that the reported information will be highly inaccurate (and, on > certain platforms like x86, not only incomplete but *different* from what you > get as root) when lshw is run as normal user. Agree, you should be root to run the tool consolehelper solves this. > Maybe I should add a warning in > the GUI (like what you get when running the CLI as non-root user). What do > others think? A warning would be nice, however that's is feature request in lshw, is not critical for this review which is about inclusion in Fedora (let's not forget that). > I have added to lshw's SVN some drawings without logos and also "replacement" > logos for intel, amd, powerpc (cf. > http://dev.ezix.org/source/packages/artwork/nologo/ comments welcome). Looks great, will include them when they are part of a proper release. Again: lshw works great without logs, this issue is not critical for this Fedora inclusion review. > as discussed earlier (cf. duplicate BR), lshw makes use of *both* sources > (system's hwdata and bundled data files) so it always uses the most recent data. > It'd be good to have Fedora's hwdata updated once a month but it's currently > very old and updated infrequently. In a perfect world hwdata would be updated every month, it's not so lshw must be included it's own data. Things might change and then we will adapt. > I may add an option (in the GUI) to download fresher files in the > future and cache them in $XDG_CACHE_HOME/lshw (usually > $HOME/.cache/lshw). Nothing stop you, it's your software, however it outside the scope of this review. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. _______________________________________________ Fedora-package-review mailing list Fedora-package-review@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-review
