No, you have to access the CVS server yourself. >on the web site it is adviced to use CVS i2c with the CVS lm_sensors, but >I have already heard that all i2c stuff was already included in 2.6.x >kernels, so what to do ? do I have to patch the kernel ? No, you're right. You don't need i2c, and you don't need to patch your kernel either. Just checkout the lm_sensors2 repository, compile it with "make user" and install it with "make user_install". There are no differences with installing, say, lm_sensors-2.8.6.
