Matt,

this is one I know people have been asking for a lot.  well, this and bug #903

[Comment 3 Troy Dack 2002-04-17 09:08:43 UTC]

Please see bug #1871 for a nicer way of including i2c & lm_sensors support.

[Comment 4 Troy Dack 2002-04-20 03:34:32 UTC]

The latest i2c is 2.6.3, updating the ebuild is simply a matter of changing
version #s.

gentoo kernels have i2c... any reason why we need this ebuild?

[Comment 6 Troy Dack 2002-04-28 02:18:38 UTC]

I don't know if they have all the chipsets that are included in the i2c package.

I don't know if lm_sensors includes all the chipsets when built without the i2c
sources.

If the lm_sensors packages when built against a gentoo kernel includes all the
chipsets then don't worry about his ebuild :)

[Comment 7 Bruce A. Locke (RETIRED) 2002-05-03 23:42:59 UTC]

I'd feel pretty safe in assuming any i2c drivers not already in the kernel and not
in the -ac kernel series are not considered ready by either -ac maintainer or
the driver maintainer.

Thank you anyways for submitting the ebuild :)
