Please reconsider. +1 Also for live systems like Grml this would allow us to ensure that the files are as up2date as our release itself. (We have the invocation of the update-smart-drivedb command within our ISO build toolchain, but "now" that this script no longer exists in Debian it's no longer as up2date as it used to be. :-/) * Christoph Anton Mitterer [Tue Jan 08, 2019 at 03:09:16PM +0100]: > Maybe one could put it (non-executable) into /u/s/d/…/examples? I'd appreciate this, if providing it within $PATH isn't considered an option within Debian. BTW, the smartmontools package still ships /usr/share/man/man8/update-smart-drivedb.8.gz, which is even more confusing for users. :) regards, -mika-
