It's a bit late to merge them (would mean that lm_sensors would only work with linux 2.4.26 and above, at best). Renaming it is an option, although I can hear MDS complaining from here, because he doesn't like renaming files under the CVS repository. I don't see any other way though. -- Jean Delvare http://www.ensicaen.ismra.fr/~delvare/
