Bug 9811 – maybe new ebuild: sys-apps/lm_sensors-progs-2.6.4.ebuild

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Cory Visi (RETIRED) 2002-10-28 00:06:00 UTC]

sys-apps/lm_sensors-progs-2.6.4.ebuild
Hardware Sensors Monitoring by lm_sensors (just programs)

Ok, I'm not sure if this is the right way to do this. But if everyone decides it is, this 
could change a few ebuilds. I really think that packages that include both applications 
and kernel modules should be split up. If someone needs the modules compiled 
statically (which I do on my servers), the applications should be able to be installed 
separately. Such was the case with lm_sensors. I created this lm_sensors_progs ebuild 
for that purpose.

This is going probably going to need a kernel source ebuild with lm_sensors patched 
in at some point, and I have that, but I am not prepared to maintain a kernel source. 
Furthermore, some of the chipsets in lm_sensors do not compile statically yet (so far, 
I've been lucky).

I just did a version bump.

Also, I forgot to mention that some packages already depend on lm_sensors, such as 
mondo. lm_sensors-progs does not satisfy this dependency. I found it necessary to:

emerge inject sys-apps/lm_sensors-2.6.5

Is there a less sloppy way to accomplish this?

[Comment 4 Brandon Low (RETIRED) 2002-10-29 07:40:46 UTC]

Do you have an ebuild for the modules separately?  If so I will go ahead and
create a virtual/sensors_modules which can be satisfied either by a kernel OR by
the lm_sensors-modules and which will be depended on by lm_sensors (which will
now be just your lm_sensors-progs ebuild)

Thanks for doing this I've been trying to get the time to fixor it myself.

Any chance of you figuring out how the heck to do alsa-driver as well?   Thanks!

I like that way of doing things! I will be glad to help out. Give me some time, and I'll 
submit what you requested.
