What do you think is better for an rpm (and what is better supported by you in general)? I checked the first way and it would require someone providing me with the changes, and these would have to be synced with the next lm_sensors release. The second proposal is something I could do propably without assistance (building kernel modules), but this would have to wait for some time (a couple of weeks), as it means ripping lm_sensors out of the atrpms kernels and providing it seperately, and also rebuilding and redistributing all further atrpms kernel modules.

Thank you for your time :-) OK, sounds reasonable, what do you think, Jean? -- Axel.Thimm at physik.fu-berlin.de -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
