Hello all,

Is there some interest to port this pkg on hppa?
I think so but I haven't enough time to help more for the moment.

Please advise,
    Joel

If you think the hppa-community will use the hwinfo package and you'll
help me make it work on the architecture,

Just give me a sign, and I'll include it. I will not do it until next
week, as I hope to get the package (v7.30-2) into Sarge when the
10days period is finished [1].

Is any other work required beyond the patch you already submitted to the
maintainer?  If so, just how much is needed?  I have some time to spare.

I don't think there is more work than including the already written
patch to get the package compiling on hppa.

The important issue is that I will not include support for hppa if the
package is not of any use for the hppa users and developers. So please
test it and see if you find the information that is provided of any
interest.

Joel had built and tested it on a B180 and found the results usefull.

I just applied the patch and tested on a 712. Works great. I'm not sure if =
all
the PA-RISC specific hardware gets tested, but at least what I get out of t=
his
patch is already quite usefull to me.  I'd say merge it.
