As I understand it, isenkram is just a proof of concept of the idea. It also seems to be a reimplementation of discover? > discover already pulls virtualbox bits in. Mentioned not so long ago in: > https://lists.debian.org/20130726091036.gb22...@mraw.org Aha, so that is where I should file a patch for installing thinkfan/etc on Thinkpads when installing with d-i. It appears that discover and isenkram uses a hard-coded list (in discover-data) of mappings between devices. If DEP-11 support were to be added to the archive and to discover, maintaining the list of mappings between devices and packages would be delegated to individual maintainers of the packages in question. discover/isenkram/PackageKit would then use apt data to discover which packages to install on which hardware. BTW, virtualbox-ose-guest-x11 got renamed to virtualbox-guest-x11 in 2011 so the discover-data package needs updating for that transition. -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
