[lm-sensors] sconfig - lm_sensors mainboard detector

[Ivan Barrera A.]

Hi.

Some time ago, i let the list know about a fedora project, which will
release a program to "autodetect" mainboard and configure lm_sensors
accordingly.
As many know, this is a difficult task, as not every bit of info is
exact, nor accurate. So the program is combining some ideas to make it
to a functional one.

The program is named sconfig, and currently is in a development stage.
Some mainboard have been tested (although not all of them been
configured properly, as some sensors are difficult).
Actually, sconfig parses the output from dmidecode, check a DB, and then
checks lspci output for onboard devices. (isa bridge, etc). With that,
it determines a score, and set/show the configuration stored.
The program has a rewrite pending, so the code is messy now. However,
some testint is appreciated, as i need to incorporate more methods and
data to the system.

Every (hopefully constructive) tought is welcome.

Code may be downloaded at :

Over there, you can upload information about your mainboard, if you have
sensors running.

rpm's for fedora/redhat/centos systems will be available soon.
