Description jim_jim33 2004-07-26 07:20:28 UTC

sys-apps/i2c adds i2c support for 2.4 kernels.  this functionality is included in the base 2.6 kernel.  sys-apps/lm-sensors has a dependancy on sys-apps/i2c.  i'm not positive, but i believe a 2.6 kernel should be sufficient to fulfill this dependancy.  perhaps it could be handled like alsa-lib?   if i install lm-sensors with a 2.6 kernel and --nodeps, is appears to function fine..

Reproducible: Always

i2c is a dummy package on 2.6 kernels while it installs i2c on 2.4 kernels. Closing as INVALID.
