Package: hdaps-utils Version: 0.1-1.1 Severity: normal
There is no documentation with hdaps-utils. Tha man page consists of 5 incomprehensible lines for both of the two utilities supplied. hdaps-pivot text-based application that shows the laptop position in real-time via hdaps. What is a "laptop position"? Does it tell me I am in London? Does it tell me the laptop is on my lap? Does it tell me if it is upside down? If the author cannot even explain what this does, why is it in the distro? Who put it there? And why? Part of Thinkpad HDAPS (Hard Drive Active Protection System) utilities. Yes, the other part seems to be hdaps-gl. Which has a worse man page! hdaps-gl GL-based laptop model that rotates in real-time via hdaps. What?!!! That's not even english. The verb in the sentence is missing! I have no idea what could have been meant. Please get somebody japanese to write this man page - it might be more comprehensible! COme to that, what is a "GL-based laptop". And what is a "laptop model"? And since when do laptops "rotate"? and what has "real time" (note, no hyphen, conventionally) to do with anything? Never mind that telling us what hdaps initials mean doesn't tell us anything about what it is. Before run this application be sure you have hdaps driver running. And what is a "hdaps driver"? (missing article: the? a?). SInce this seems to be connected with a hard drive, why does it mention laptops? Laptops don't always have hard drives, and hard drives aren't restricted to laptops. What is the connection? I am completely mystified. I would look at the source code in the hope of getting some info, but I'm not on the net at the moment. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.24-19.41 (SMP w/1 CPU core; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) (ignored: LC_ALL set to C) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages hdaps-utils depends on: ii freeglut3 2.4.0-6.1 OpenGL Utility Toolkit ii libc6 2.7-15 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgl1-mesa-glx [libgl1] 7.0.3-6 A free implementation of the OpenG ii libglu1-mesa [libglu1] 7.0.3-6 The OpenGL utility library (GLU) hdaps-utils recommends no packages. hdaps-utils suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
