Bug 223755 – update hddtemp.db

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description nicodache 2008-05-26 21:01:21 UTC]

developer provide a more up-to-date hddtemp.db version than you do.
could you think of merging your /usr/share/hddtemp/hddgentoo.db into the latest version available for download (www.guzu.net/linux/hddtemp.db)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

1.ask hddtemp to show your drive's temperature
2.if your drive is not in it's DB, you get some warning message that could easily be suppressed if the hddtemp.db file was more up to date
3.

Actual Results:  
warning message for my Seagate 500G drives

Expected Results:  
no warning message, temperature shown

latest hddtemp.db plus your hddgentoo.db

merge yourself old hddgentoo.db with latest version from website, or use this file. in latest case, please check for double entries.

Maybe a script like update-pciids could help.

Run emerge --config hddtemp and you'll get an up-to-date upstream hddtemp.db + hddgentoo.db.

I've just updated the hddtemp.db file in the Portage tree.
