newer version of sys-apps/hwinfo available
Created attachment 91324 [details] sys-apps/hwinfo-12.29.ebuild ebuild for sys-apps/hwinfo
Created attachment 91325 [details, diff] files/hwinfo-12.29-gentoo.patch This patches sys-apps/hwinfo to compile on Gentoo. It removes one portion of code that uses TIOCGDEV which is SuSE-specific. This part taken from Debian. It also uses wireless_copy.h from wpa_supplicant as our current version of kernel headers don't have the relevant information. Idea also taken from Debian. The full patch is 45K mainly because it contains wireless_copy.h, so an alternative would be to also download wpa_supplicant in the ebuild and copy the wireless_copy.h out of it.
Created attachment 91327 [details, diff] files/hwinfo-12.29-gentoo.patch Submitted wrong version of patch before. This one uses the CFLAG -fPIC as did the upstream Makefile to avoid TEXTRELs.
13.0 in the tree now, using debian patchset -4.
Created attachment 92492 [details, diff] files/hwinfo-13.0-makefile-fixes.patch (In reply to comment #4) > 13.0 in the tree now, using debian patchset -4. > 13.0 doesn't compile with gcc 3.4.6, -Wno-pointer-sign doesn't exist. It also doesn't compile with custom CFLAGS, (-O2 -g are hardcoded in the Makefile). The attached patch fixes this.
sys-apps/hwinfo-13.0 doesn't contain all the fixes in the original ebuild
