Indeed.

So the state of Smolt in Debian is this: I picked this package up on the road
to lenny and--knowing that any work would not be a part of that release--I
put it on low priority and concentrated on other things.

Technically, I have working packages, but the "difficult" work is with
getting a decent integration into the Debian system, particularly with
respect to integrating Smolt into the graphical desktop environments and
making it part of a default graphical installation - the adoption by other
distributions has opened doors there, at least for an initial discussion to
not be shot down on grounds of lack of other users.

So I guess it would certainly help to get some Ubuntu people with leverage on
board soon - it would seem a shame to duplicate effort there. Does anyone
know if they are remotely interested in this?

Bug#435058: Smolt hardware profiler / statistics

2008-12-01 Thread Vadim Plessky

I can't agree that Smolt is Fedora-only solution.
OpenSUSE adopted this solution as well, and I was able to send profile
from OpenSUSE 11.1 Beta easily.

I have learned about http://hardware4linux.info/ just after doing Google
search about Smolt and Debian. :-)

Hardware4Linux is a nice project, but at a moment there are only ~ 3200
profiles available.
And you nee:
- register account at http://hardware4linux.info/
 and wait about one hour to get login enabled
- upload test results manually
- answer 5 or 6 questions (does it work or not) on web form
I doubt majority of users would have so much time to come through all
those steps.

Kind regards,
Vadim Plessky
