AFAIK, there have been no new upstream releases, but this package is useful on the m68k architecture (equivalent to lspci, etc.). If someone wants to adopt it from me (I don't have an m68k box any more), that's fine, but I don't think it should be removed. Chris -- Chris Lawrence - http://blog.lordsutch.com/
