That sounds logical.

maybe you can keep it somehow as a contrib element, I think that adds
quite some value to every tar ball. :)

ok, sorry for the confusion, that's because I just started sensors from
the build tree. I didn't want to install the thing without an rpm.
Anyways, I grabbed the spec file from centos and built my own rpm,
without the patches. :)

Question: Shouldn't the libs as defined in lm_sensors Makefile go to
something more architecture specific?
I changed my local copy of the Makefile from the snapshot to the
following in order to comply with rpm's strict architecture handling.
That allowed me too build the x86_64 package.

BTW, I attached my .spec file, maybe somebody has some use for it. It
only works with the patch applied as shown below.

Instructions:
get
http://dl.lm-sensors.org/lm-sensors/snapshots/lm-sensors-r4197-20061007.tar.bz2
tar xjvf lm-sensors-r4197-20061007.tar.bz2
mv lm-sensors-r4197-20061007 lm_sensors-2.10.1
cd lm_sensors-2.10.1
cp prog/init/lm_sensors.sysconfig /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES
cp prog/init/lm_sensors.init /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES
patch -p1 < patchfile (see patch listed below)
cd ..
tar czvf lm_sensors-2.10.1.tar.gz lm_sensors-2.10.1
put lm_sensors-2.10.1.tar.gz under /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES
put spec file under /usr/src/redhat/SPECS
rpmbuild -ba lm_sensors.spec
cross fingers

Please note: These installations instructions are just from my memory,
they don't claim to comply to any standard neither lm_sensors' nor
centos' standars. I just wanted to make it work under centos without
having files lying around that I can't remove properly should I ever
uninstall or upgrade lm_sensors.

Thanks for your help so far!

Greetings - Michael
