New version, new man, new feature!! Bug fixes!
Bugs: 1. issue #182 - in freebsd, there was an oversight in the pciconf parser, it was using unfiltered strings as regex pattern, and of course, a string flipped an error. Fix was to add the regex cleaner to the string before it's used in test. 2. NOTE: issue #182 had a second bug, but the issue poster didn't follow up with data or output so it couldn't be fixed. This was related to a syntax change in usbdevs -v output in FreeBSD. Such changes are too common, but it might also simply be a variant I have not seen or handled, but so far no data, so can't fix. Don't blame me if you get this bug, but do post requested debugger data if you want it fixed! Fixes: 1. Updated man for weather, explained more clearly how to use country codes for weather output. More clarifying in general about weather location, and weather restrictions. Enhancements: 1. Added avx/avx2 to default flag list in -C short form. Thanks damentz from liquorix for clarifying why that was a good idea. Note the initial issue came up in a Debian issue report, not here. People!! please post issues here, and don't bug maintainers with feature requests! Maintainers aren't in a position to add a feature, so you should go straight to the source. 1.a. Created in inxi-perl/docs new doc file: cpu-flags.txt, which explains all the flags, and also covers the short form flags and explains why they are used. 2. To resolve another issue, I made a new documentation file: inxi-perl/docs/inxi-custom-recommends.txt This is instructions for maintainers of distros who do not use rpm/apt/pacman but still want the --recommends feature to output their package pool package names for missing packages. I decided to not allow more than the default 3 package managers because no matter what people say, if I allow in more, the maintainer will vanish or lose interest, and I'll be stuck having to maintain their package lists forever. Also, it's silly to even include that package list for any distro that does not use rpm/apt/pacman, since the list is just wasted lines. Instructions in doc file show what to change, and how, and has an example to make it clear. Odds of this actually being used? Not high, lol, but that's fine, if people want it done, they can do it, if not, nothing bad happens, it just won't show any suggested install package, no big deal. 3. Using the new disk vendor method, added even more disk vendors. Thanks linux litet hardware database!! 4. EXCITING!! A new --admin/-a option, suggested by a user on techpatterns.com/forums/ Now -S or -b or -F with -a option for GNU/Linux shows the kernel boot parameters, from /proc/cmdline. Didn't find anything comparable for BSDs, if you can tell me where to look, I'll add it for those too, but wasn't anywhere I looked. Do the BSDs even use that method? Don't know, but the logic is there, waiting to be used if someone shows me how to get it cleanly. The 'parameters:' item shows in the main 'System:' -S output, and will just show the entire kernel parameters used to boot. This could be very helpful to distros who often have to determine if for example graphics blacklists are correctly applied for non free drivers, like nomodeset etc, or if the opposite is present. For forum/distro support, they just have to ask for: inxi -ba and they will see t the relevant graphics info, for instance, or -SGaxxx, or -Faxxx, whatever is used to trigger in this case the graphics and system lines. 5. Updated man/help for 4 as well, now explains what they will see with --admin/ -a options and -S. Good user suggestion, I wish all new features were this easy, heh.

Changes:
|
||||
-----------------------------------
|
||||
New version, new man, new feature!! Bug fixes!
|
||||
|
||||
Bugs:
|
||||
1. issue #182 - in freebsd, there was an oversight in the pciconf parser, it
|
||||
was using unfiltered strings as regex pattern, and of course, a string flipped
|
||||
an error. Fix was to add the regex cleaner to the string before it's used in test.
|
||||
|
||||
2. NOTE: issue #182 had a second bug, but the issue poster didn't follow up with
|
||||
data or output so it couldn't be fixed. This was related to a syntax change in
|
||||
usbdevs -v output in FreeBSD. Such changes are too common, but it might also
|
||||
simply be a variant I have not seen or handled, but so far no data, so can't fix.
|
||||
Don't blame me if you get this bug, but do post requested debugger data if you
|
||||
want it fixed!
|
||||
|
||||
Fixes:
|
||||
1. Updated man for weather, explained more clearly how to use country codes for
|
||||
weather output. More clarifying in general about weather location, and weather
|
||||
restrictions.
|
||||
|
||||
Enhancements:
|
||||
1. Added avx/avx2 to default flag list in -C short form. Thanks damentz from
|
||||
liquorix for clarifying why that was a good idea. Note the initial issue came up
|
||||
in a Debian issue report, not here. People!! please post issues here, and don't bug
|
||||
maintainers with feature requests! Maintainers aren't in a position to add a feature,
|
||||
so you should go straight to the source.
|
||||
|
||||
1.a. Created in inxi-perl/docs new doc file: cpu-flags.txt, which explains all
|
||||
the flags, and also covers the short form flags and explains why they are used.
|
||||
|
||||
2. To resolve another issue, I made a new documentation file:
|
||||
inxi-perl/docs/inxi-custom-recommends.txt
|
||||
This is instructions for maintainers of distros who do not use rpm/apt/pacman but
|
||||
still want the --recommends feature to output their package pool package names for
|
||||
missing packages. I decided to not allow more than the default 3 package managers
|
||||
because no matter what people say, if I allow in more, the maintainer will vanish
|
||||
or lose interest, and I'll be stuck having to maintain their package lists forever.
|
||||
|
||||
Also, it's silly to even include that package list for any distro that does not
|
||||
use rpm/apt/pacman, since the list is just wasted lines. Instructions in doc file
|
||||
show what to change, and how, and has an example to make it clear. Odds of this
|
||||
actually being used? Not high, lol, but that's fine, if people want it done, they
|
||||
can do it, if not, nothing bad happens, it just won't show any suggested install
|
||||
package, no big deal.
|
||||
|
||||
3. Using the new disk vendor method, added even more disk vendors. Thanks
|
||||
linux litet hardware database!!
|
||||
|
||||
4. EXCITING!! A new --admin/-a option, suggested by a user on techpatterns.com/forums/
|
||||
Now -S or -b or -F with -a option for GNU/Linux shows the kernel boot parameters,
|
||||
from /proc/cmdline. Didn't find anything comparable for BSDs, if you can tell me
|
||||
where to look, I'll add it for those too, but wasn't anywhere I looked. Do the
|
||||
BSDs even use that method? Don't know, but the logic is there, waiting to be used
|
||||
if someone shows me how to get it cleanly. The 'parameters:' item shows in the main
|
||||
'System:' -S output, and will just show the entire kernel parameters used to boot.
|
||||
|
||||
This could be very helpful to distros who often have to determine if for example
|
||||
graphics blacklists are correctly applied for non free drivers, like nomodeset etc,
|
||||
or if the opposite is present.
|
||||
|
||||
For forum/distro support, they just have to ask for: inxi -ba and they will see t
|
||||
the relevant graphics info, for instance, or -SGaxxx, or -Faxxx, whatever is used
|
||||
to trigger in this case the graphics and system lines.
|
||||
|
||||
5. Updated man/help for 4 as well, now explains what they will see with --admin/
|
||||
-a options and -S. Good user suggestion, I wish all new features were this easy,
|
||||
heh.
