I submitted a talk about "Hardware Report, Database and PopCon". Abstract: > Hardware support implies two different points : Providing a Driver and > configuring the system.

I am working on a tool that collects the current list of hardware on a computer (through sysfs|lscpi... and hal|lsmod... ), then submit it to a central database. Once those data are loaded in a central database, we can make lots of useful statistics about the devices and modules that are actually used. I consider that this tool is closely related to D-I (I plan to ship a D-I package, so people can report [failing hardware] from D-I. The integration with reportbug will have to be discussed at that time) Franklin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
