Hello!
Readable: I don't find that actual version is readable, in particular
with biggest vendor (i.e. I need a lot of scroll to see if I'm in the
right section).
This is however not solved by repeating the vendor ID at every line,
because people usually do not remember the vendor by the ID

It has been uploaded now. Shall I unblock it already? Does it need to

Hello and thanks for the prompt response!
Martin, what is the pros of having this striped data available?
In many cases, the subsystem ID is needed to reliably identify a PCI card
as the manufacturers are used to make multiple cards with the same chip,
but wired differently.
Dropping this
Hello!
My point is that pci.ids has been stripped in both the udeb and the
normal binary packages for a number of debian versions of pciutils.
Yes, but only in testing. The Etch version is complete.
Have a nice fortnight

Dropping this information in the udeb is if course a good way of saving
space, but the full package should contain everything.
In the future (after Lenny), I would like to solve one more problem:
with the current rate of development of new hardware, the pci.ids file
is getting out of date very
volatile is up to the volatile maintainers, though updating it on
volatile won't make it usefull for installing new systems...
The ability to update the pci.ids from -volatile was meant as a small
icing at the top of the cake -- I see the real benefit in the possibility
of fetching a package

I suggest that we should split off the pci.ids

Hello, world!\n
I am concerned with the state of the pci.ids file in the current
pciutils package. It is seriously broken: It contains no subsystem
entries, no programming interface entries and no comments including the

That's all well and good, but if something is stripped for D-I, it

I'll upload 1:3.0.0-5 for the consideration of the D-I and the release
teams this evening.
