[Slackbuilds-users] hwinfo

[B Watson]

Looks like the SlackBuild needs -j1 on the make command line... and the
long process in the build (./check_hd) does take forever.

What check_hd seems to be doing is checking for duplicates in the hardware
ID lists that ship with the source, and combining them into one master
list. It looks to me like the result is always going to be the same,
for the same version of hwinfo, which means upstream really should have
shipped the complete database instead of making everyone generate it at
build time... I guess they were trying to save space and bandwidth.

You guys who have recently built hwinfo can confirm this. After the build:

$ md5sum /tmp/SBo/hwinfo-21.67/src/ids/hd*.{ids,h}
bbf954f94de75b4fdd3c0c48580336e7  /tmp/SBo/hwinfo-21.67/src/ids/hd.ids

eed2aadf1806e77818caeef37e278366  /tmp/SBo/hwinfo-21.67/src/ids/hd_ids_tiny.h

Your md5sums should match mine.
