hw-detect 1.87ubuntu1 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

hw-detect (1.87ubuntu1) precise; urgency=low

  * Resynchronise with Debian.  Remaining changes:
    - Remove FireWire Ethernet support.
    - Register lp module on i386 and amd64.
    - Exit zero if you continue all the way through ethdetect's errors about
      having no network interfaces.
    - Register rtc module on amd64.
    - Drop priorities of a couple of ethdetect questions to medium.
    - On powerpc/ps3 systems, load ps3rom, ps3disk, and ps3_gelic, and add
      snd_ps3 to /etc/modules.
    - Install elfspe2 on Cell (powerpc/ps3 and powerpc/cell) platforms.
    - disk-detect.sh: Do not check the kernel command line for any option
      to enable dmraid support. If functional dmraid arrays are found, the
      user will be asked if they wish to activate them.
    - Make dmraid logging a bit neater.
    - 'dmraid -c -s' changed its output format; cope with both old and new.
    - Remove dm-emc from the multipath modules, since it's gone since
      2.6.27.
    - Improve checks for dm-* drivers being present to avoid relying on them
      being built as modules.
    - Offer iSCSI targets for preseeding if partman-iscsi is available and
      no disk devices are found.
    - Stop installing acpi, acpid, and acpi-support-base if acpi is
      available.
    - Add an 'archdetect-deb' package, containing /usr/bin/archdetect.  Add
      an archdetect(1) manual page.
    - Refer to /usr/share/common-licenses/GPL-2 in debian/copyright.
    - Load xenbus_probe_frontend if we're running under the Xen hypervisor.

hw-detect (1.87) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Jurij Smakov ]
  * check-missing-firmware.sh: support new missing firmware directory
    location (/run/udev/firmware-missing) in addition to the old one.

hw-detect (1.86) unstable; urgency=low

  * Team upload

  [ Miguel Figueiredo ]
  * discover-mac-io.sh: blacklist snd-aoa-* modules to allow snd-powermac
    to work. Closes #606984.
  * Change priority of driver-injection-disk/load template. Closes: #583650.

  [ Otavio Salvador ]
  * Blacklist snd-aoa to allow snd-powermac to work. Refs: #606984.

hw-detect (1.85) unstable; urgency=low

  * discover-mac-io.sh: Fix module loading for Ibook G4 (powermac). Closes:
    #525902, #525946, #606984.
    Thanks to Risto Suominen <email address hidden>.
  * Install mmc-modules if no disk is found, since some devices may not
    have hard drives, but SD slots instead. Closes: #593108
  * Increase the number of attempts to detect the new disk devices in
    disk_found() of disk-detect.sh to 15, bringing the total waiting time
    to 28 seconds. Current timeout of 4 seconds is not sufficient for
    some SCSI subsystems with long driver/disk initialization time.
    Closes: #611314

hw-detect (1.84) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Joey Hess ]
  * check-missing-firmware: Avoid reloading modules that have a network
    interface that is already configured. Closes: #605983

  [ Petter Reinholdtsen ]
  * Add Vcs-Browser entry to control file, in addition to the Vcs-Svn
    entry.

  * Telugu (te.po) by Arjuna Rao Chavala

hw-detect (1.83) unstable; urgency=low

  * Set DI_PROGRESS_BAR_VISIBLE flag when running discover-pkginstall
    to avoid it destroying pkgsel's progress bar.
    (Bug #605938 asks for discover to honor this flag.)

  * Lao (lo.po) by Anousak Souphavanh

hw-detect (1.82) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Joey Hess ]
  * check-missing-firmware: When called from ethdetect, take interfaces
    up and down each time through the loop. Previously this was only done
    once, which caused a bug, as the first pass through does not prompt
    for missing firmware, and on subsequent passes, the firmware was not
    requested. Closes: #537502
    (Thanks, Asbjørn Sloth Tønnesen)

Binary packages built by this source

archdetect: Hardware architecture detector
archdetect-deb: Hardware architecture detector

 This package provides the 'archdetect' tool, which displays the current
 machine architecture and subarchitecture. The architecture corresponds to
 that built into dpkg, and describes the CPU (and possibly kernel) types;
 the subarchitecture distinguishes machines with different boot arrangements
 that require special handling.
 .
 This package would be called 'archdetect', but a udeb of that name already
 existed for use in the installer.

disk-detect: Detect disk drives
driver-injection-disk-detect: Detect OEM driver injection disks
ethdetect: Detect network hardware and load kernel drivers for it
hw-detect: Detect hardware and load kernel drivers for it
