Description John Richard Moser 2004-08-27 14:16:02 UTC
Kudzu doesn't seem to work.  hwsetup is annoying, wants kudzu-knoppix, etc.  Kudzu can by default not detect crap.


Here's what's needed:

- hwsetup needs to depend on hwdata-knoppix
- hwsetup should depend on virtual/kudzu (kudzu or kudzu-knoppix)
- emerging kudzu should cause hwsetup to be merged afterwards, as kudzu is useless without hwsetup; at the very least, display info about this afterwards recommending it
- A kudzu init.d is needed

This shouldn't be a hard fix.

init.d/kudzu

Just a simple script to run kudzu, then hwsetup

conf.d/kudzu

Conf.d for the above init.d

This does nothing; the line in there is commented.  You might want to use -s by
default though. . .

Kudzu also doesn't seem to do things like mousedev or psmouse (needed for 2.6) . . . but you guys don't work on kudzu.  Just figured you'd like to know, ya know?  :)
Comment 4 Roman Gaufman 2004-08-31 16:00:00 UTC
yes, I would like to see it fixed. Other bug reports about it have been assigned over a year ago, and no change since then.

I was actually planning on removing kudzu from the tree entirely in the near future.  I see no point in us having a virtual for kudzu.

I also only plan on making a new "kudzu-gentoo" in the near future, with our own patches applied to it, as neither the official kudzu, nor kudzu-knoppix do exactly what we want it to do.

I'm going to revisit all of this now that I have someone interested in helping with kudzu(-knoppix) for non-livecd builds.
Comment 8 Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-05-12 12:31:46 UTC
OK... I added these init scripts to kudzu, and am doing the same for kudzu-knoppix...

hwsetup now looks for either kudzu-knoppix (its preference) or kudzu...
