README for inxi - a command line system information tool
The new Perl inxi is now here! File all issue reports with the master branch.
All support for versions prior to 3.0 is now ended, sorry.
The new faster, more powerful Perl inxi is here! File all issue reports
with the master branch. All support for versions prior to 3.0 is now ended,
sorry.
Make sure to update to the current inxi from the master branch before filing
any issue reports. The code in pre 2.9 versions literally no longer exists in
inxi 3. Bugs from earlier versions cannot be solved in the new version since
the pre 2.9 and the 2.9 and later versions are completely different internally.

===============================================================================
Help inxi development! Submit a user debugger dataset.
This is easy to do, and only takes a few seconds, but these datasets really
help the project add and debug features.
For inxi versions 2.9/3 and newer, run: inxxi --debug 22
For inxi versions 2.3 and older, run: inxi -xx@14
Note that for inxi 3, the following options are present for --debug:
1. --debug 20 - creates a local gz version of the debugger dataset
2. --debug 21 - creates gz dataset, uploads it, leaves gz on your system
3. --debug 22 - creates gz dataset, uploads it, deletes gz file
You can run these as regular user, or root/sudo, which will gather a bit more
data, like from dmidecode, and other tools that need superuser permissions
to run.
ARM and BSD datasets are particularly appreciated.
