Hello Siggy, It seems your are the new maintainer of hwtools. Good :-)) I sent few weeks ago a request to enhance hwtools for multiarch support (#58060). In fact, I'm willing to use the scsi stuff on my sparc too (especially scsiinfo & scsidev). I succedeed to using it with really minor fixes. On this topic, yesterday I discovered a new release of scsidev (2.10) made by Kurt Garloff <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (http://www.garloff.de/kurt/linux/scsidev/). I also took a look at the BTS against this package and saw several bugs reported against scsidev. I guess this release fixes them. If you don't want to work on it, I can do the following work: - add support for non-i386 arch (scsi stuff only; other tools seem to be really i386 specific) - upgrade scsidev and write support for running it at boot time.
However, instead of moving hwtools multi-arch it could be better to split the scsi part out of it and create a new scsitools package (I can adopt it if you want). What do you think about this?
