12/02/07 and 14/02/07 I sent two emails
> new hard drive to add to database
> second new hard drive to add to database

to hddtemp@guzu.net

Obviously, new version Gentoo updated this week does not include peaces of
information I provided to upstream, thus I come down to ask the distro to patch
database for these drives.

I attach informative files as the bug is created (grrr, still not possible to
attach files on bug creation )

Is the upstream totally unresponsive with this?  It would normally be better to
have these updates done upstream.  If we include them in the .db file provided
by Gentoo and a user later manually updates the hddtemp database, the updates
will be gone if they are not included in the upstream version.

That is what hapenned to me, reason why I opened this bug ! I reported
upstream, and patched locally months ago, and recently I had a breakage,
because there have been an update that fired away my improovement. I was
expecting the update to include the lines I mailed them, but, in fact, no.

OK, I'll try to contact them during this weekend because I actually also have
an entry to add as well.  If that doesn't work, I guess will do some
Gentoo-specific patching of hddtemp.db.

try something like

for i in disk_ID1 disk_ID2 disk_ID3
do
 cat file.db |grep $i || echo "$i foobar" >>file.db
done

This way, you only add the missing lines, and avoids side effects of
traditionnal patches.

Just to keep everyone updated: the author of hddtemp is currently pretty busy
and has a large backlog of hddtemp db updates. We'll try to work out a solution
that could make everyone happy.

OK, I decided to go (at least temporarily) with our own mini db.  Thanks for
your drive DB submissions.
