PACKAGERS! inxi repos are moved to https://codeberg.org/smxi/inxi

Browse source 
The repos will mirror to github for a short amount of time, until after 3.3.30
is released, then I am probably going to do some big changes in the structure of
the inxi repo. Make sure to update your packaging tools and scripts for this
change.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Finally, a huge upgrade for Wayland future proofing, and other futures that are
maybe coming, by adding EGL API, and Vulkan for good measure. This should handle
wayland finally, that's been a stub forever, but finally realized eglinfo was a
thing, and that vulkan as well could be a contender to replace OpenGL, at least
that's what Mesa says on their site, and they should know.

This handles one of the longest standing weak points of inxi graphics, being
completely X11-centric, even though wayland support exists fairly extensively,
but this glxinfo dependent feature was a niggling annoyance, now it's fairly
ambivalent about which api tool you throw at it, the hardest is to give the
right message for no data, or incomplete data. Note that eglinfo supplies at
least software rendering out of X11 or Wayland, so we can now get some API data
in console, including if supported, OpenGL data. Not all of it, but some of it.

Also since now all the docs are split and granular, with the Graphics API
upgrades, added data sample files from glxinfo, eglinfo, vulkaninfo, and vainfo
for good measure, just to have some of the latter. This is one of the first time
all the data used to develope a feature, docs for that feature, and the feature
itself, are being shared and released at the same time.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SPECIAL THANKS:

1a. GRAPHICS: API: Arch user Chrome30 on github for requesting vulkan data, and
providing the initial datasamples that made it possible to think about this new
API feature.

1b. CheckRecommends: Display packages: mrmazda, a frequent helper, checked and
updated OpenSUSE and Fedora vulkan/egl/glx API tool package names. Those have
been a bit fluid and many of the names I had were not right.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
KNOWN ISSUES:

1a. GRAPHICS: nothing is perfect, for sudo/root the detections fail for OpenGL
API messages, but fallbacks will make it a bit nicer than it was, with some
data, instead of none as before.

1b. GRAPHICS: API: I'm assuming that the greatest EGL version number found is
the actual version, and lower versions are what that platform supports. This is
an assumption, not a known fact, but finding this stuff clearly documented tends
towards near impossibility, or takes forever to determine, so that's the
assumption that is being used. Correct via issue and clear explanation with
links to resources if this is incorrect.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BUGS:

1. Nothing to speak of.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FIXES:

1. PARTITIONS: had wekafs as a zfs type fs, it's not, it's more like NAS, cloud.
Added to distributed list, and removed from zfs|btrfs|hammer list. I know, I
know, will it ever matter? Probably not. But just in case, wouldn't want your
local machine to report with petabytes of storage now would we!

2. CheckRecommends: corrected some Fedora, SUSE package names.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ENHANCEMENTS:

1a. SYSTEM: DistroData: added Bodhi id method, /etc/bodhi/info file which is
similar to /etc/lsb_release, updated system base detection as well. System base
comes from /etc/os-release.

1b. SYSTEM: DistroData: Added Nitrux system base (debian). Why they try hide
this is beyond me. Maybe because they are not using a real PM, and don't include
apt, who knows.

2a. GRAPHICS: new nvidia gpu ids.

2b. Graphics: EGL API data:
* Shows eglinfo missing if appropriate, no data messages if appropriate.
* -G shows EGL version(s), drivers, active platforms.
* -Gx adds active/inactive platforms as sub items of platforms.
* -Gxx shows platforms by platform, with egl version, driver. EGL version only
shows if there were more than 1 detected, otherwise it shows with EGL v:
* -Gxxx shows hw based on driver, if found, like vulkan.

To avoid excess verbosity, does not show renderer OpenGL name per platform
because it would be way too long and repetetive. And besides, that would show
in OpenGL anyway, more or less, unless there are two different GPUs, which is a
case that is not fully handled.

2c. GRAPHICS: OpenGL data:
* If glxinfo not present, or with null output due to root/no display, and if
eglinfo available, and has OpenGL items, will populate most of OpenGL API with
data, except for Direct Rendering and GLX version. Shows appropriate messages
indicating it's EGL sourced for console, root, no data, or glxinfo missing.
* -Gx adds GLX version, if detected.
* -Gxx add: ES version, if detected; device-ID, if available. Also adds
display-ID, if Display-ID was not found in the Display line (which probably
means that xdpyinfo or xrandr were not installed). Does not always show since it
already appeared in Display line if it was discovered.
* -Ga adds device memory, and unified memory status (yes/no).

2d. GRAPHICS: Vulkan API data:
* Shows appropriate messages if vulkaninfo present, but no data found.
* -G shows Vulkan version, drivers, and surfaces.
* -Gx device counts.
* -Gxx adds device by id, type, driver report.
* -Gxxx adds layer count; adds device hardware vendor, based on mesa driver. Not
for nvidia driver, since that is self evident. Goes away with -Ga if device name
exists.
* -Ga adds full device report, including per device names, ids, drivers, driver
versions, surfaces.

3. UPDATE: Because the smxi.org server no longer accepts TSL 1.1 based HTTP
requests, added for extreme legacy systems a new update option, -U 4, which
uses direct FTP download from smxi.org ftp server. If system set to default to
perl downloader HTTP::Tiny it switches to using a non perl downloader
automatically, like wget or curl.

4. CPU: Microarch: got early zen5 possible IDs. Both Intel/AMD may have rough
ID working well before they ship in public. CPU stuff has slowed down a lot,
the 4,3n nodes are not easy, obviously.

5. DRIVES: Many more drive vendors and drive IDs.

6. RAM: More RAM vendors. Note that it's not unusual for a Drive vendor to also
make RAM, and vice versa.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CHANGES:

1a. GRAPHICS: For API, show OpenGL mesa-v: x.x.x separate from main API v:
string. Also only shows the actual API version with v: now, like v: 4.5. Also
shows vendor: nvidia v: 340.23 for nvidia, without mesa. Falls back for
unhandled cases or syntaxes to the whole version string for v:.

1b. GRAPHICS: For OpenGL, shows compat-v: always if present, that was a mistake
not to show it unless -Gx, since otherwise you'd think you are running a
different version. Not a common situation, but on legacy hardware, can happen.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DOCUMENTATION:

1a. DOCS: docs/inxi-cpu.txt - reorganized into more coherent sections, like with
like, etc. Added better top Sections navigation since there is so much data.

1b. DOCS: docs/inxi-resources.txt - moved last code tricks to
docs/tips-tricks.txt.

1c. DOCS: new docs/ files inxi-battery.txt, inxi-debuggers.txt,
inxi-devices.txt, inxi-kernel.txt, inxi-machine.txt, inxi-network.txt,
inxi-raid-logical.txt, inxi-start-client.txt, inxi-tty.txt, inxi-weather.

These new files cleaned out docs/inxi-data.txt and docs/inxi-resources.txt,
which are now merely placeholder files, and have no data in them beyond pointers
to the actual data files.

1d. DOCS: docs/inxi-custom-recommends.txt updated for SUSE/Fedora packag name
fixes and new eglinfo and vulkaninfo items.

2a. DATA: moved more data from non public data to shared. Refactored directories
to be better organized, and to follow the overall inxi data structures better.

2b. DATA: added many more eglinfo, glxinfo, vulkaninfo to data/graphics. Also
added some clinfo, vainfo just in case decide to support those APIs.

3a. MAN/OPTIONS: updated for new graphics API features, new verbsity features,
etc.

3b. MAN/OPTIONS: added -U arguments for man, for some reason I'd left those out.
Also removed options references to -U 1, 2, because those should never be used,
if those versions of inxi even exist, they are ancient. Added -U 4 option, and
explanation of when/why to use it.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CODE:

1a. FAKE DATA: updated paths for fake data to reflect data reorganization.

1b. FAKE DATA: Added --fake egl,glx,vulkan for GRAPHICS API.

2. GRAPHICS: Fully refactored opengl_output, moved to gl_data/opengl_output.
Added egl_data, egl_output, and vulkan_data, vulkan_output, and some other
tools.

3. UPDATE: if downloader is set to 'perl', aka, Tiny::HTTP, and -U 4 is used,
which is a direct FTP download of the inxi/pinxi files, tiny is disabled, and
the next available downloader (wget/curl/fetch) is used instead.

4. DEBUGGER: added clinfo, eglinfo, es2_info, vainfo, vdpauinfo, vulkaninfo.

but this glxinfo dependent feature was a niggling annoyance, now it's fairly
ambivalent about which api tool you throw at it, the hardest is to give the
right message for no data, or incomplete data. Note that eglinfo supplies at
least software rendering out of X11 or Wayland, so we can now get some API data
in console, including if supported, OpenGL data. Not all of it, but some of it.
Also since now all the docs are split and granular, with the Graphics API
upgrades, added data sample files from glxinfo, eglinfo, vulkaninfo, and vainfo
for good measure, just to have some of the latter. This is one of the first time
all the data used to develope a feature, docs for that feature, and the feature
itself, are being shared and released at the same time.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SPECIAL THANKS:
1a. GRAPHICS: API: Arch user Chrome30 on github for requesting vulkan data, and
providing the initial datasamples that made it possible to think about this new
API feature.
1b. CheckRecommends: Display packages: mrmazda, a frequent helper, checked and
updated OpenSUSE and Fedora vulkan/egl/glx API tool package names. Those have
been a bit fluid and many of the names I had were not right.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
KNOWN ISSUES:
1a. GRAPHICS: nothing is perfect, for sudo/root the detections fail for OpenGL
API messages, but fallbacks will make it a bit nicer than it was, with some
data, instead of none as before.
1b. GRAPHICS: API: I'm assuming that the greatest EGL version number found is
the actual version, and lower versions are what that platform supports. This is
an assumption, not a known fact, but finding this stuff clearly documented tends
towards near impossibility, or takes forever to determine, so that's the
assumption that is being used. Correct via issue and clear explanation with
links to resources if this is incorrect.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BUGS:
1. Nothing to speak of.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FIXES:
1. PARTITIONS: had wekafs as a zfs type fs, it's not, it's more like NAS, cloud.
Added to distributed list, and removed from zfs|btrfs|hammer list. I know, I
know, will it ever matter? Probably not. But just in case, wouldn't want your
local machine to report with petabytes of storage now would we!
2. CheckRecommends: corrected some Fedora, SUSE package names.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ENHANCEMENTS:
1a. SYSTEM: DistroData: added Bodhi id method, /etc/bodhi/info file which is
similar to /etc/lsb_release, updated system base detection as well. System base
comes from /etc/os-release.
1b. SYSTEM: DistroData: Added Nitrux system base (debian). Why they try hide
this is beyond me. Maybe because they are not using a real PM, and don't include
apt, who knows.
2a. GRAPHICS: new nvidia gpu ids.
2b. Graphics: EGL API data:
* Shows eglinfo missing if appropriate, no data messages if appropriate.
* -G shows EGL version(s), drivers, active platforms.
* -Gx adds active/inactive platforms as sub items of platforms.
* -Gxx shows platforms by platform, with egl version, driver. EGL version only
shows if there were more than 1 detected, otherwise it shows with EGL v:
* -Gxxx shows hw based on driver, if found, like vulkan.
To avoid excess verbosity, does not show renderer OpenGL name per platform
because it would be way too long and repetetive. And besides, that would show
in OpenGL anyway, more or less, unless there are two different GPUs, which is a
case that is not fully handled.
2c. GRAPHICS: OpenGL data:
* If glxinfo not present, or with null output due to root/no display, and if
eglinfo available, and has OpenGL items, will populate most of OpenGL API with
data, except for Direct Rendering and GLX version. Shows appropriate messages
indicating it's EGL sourced for console, root, no data, or glxinfo missing.
* -Gx adds GLX version, if detected.
* -Gxx add: ES version, if detected; device-ID, if available. Also adds
display-ID, if Display-ID was not found in the Display line (which probably
means that xdpyinfo or xrandr were not installed). Does not always show since it
already appeared in Display line if it was discovered.
* -Ga adds device memory, and unified memory status (yes/no).
2d. GRAPHICS: Vulkan API data:
* Shows appropriate messages if vulkaninfo present, but no data found.
* -G shows Vulkan version, drivers, and surfaces.
* -Gx device counts.
* -Gxx adds device by id, type, driver report.
* -Gxxx adds layer count; adds device hardware vendor, based on mesa driver. Not
for nvidia driver, since that is self evident. Goes away with -Ga if device name
exists.
* -Ga adds full device report, including per device names, ids, drivers, driver
versions, surfaces.
3. UPDATE: Because the smxi.org server no longer accepts TSL 1.1 based HTTP
requests, added for extreme legacy systems a new update option, -U 4, which
uses direct FTP download from smxi.org ftp server. If system set to default to
perl downloader HTTP::Tiny it switches to using a non perl downloader
automatically, like wget or curl.
4. CPU: Microarch: got early zen5 possible IDs. Both Intel/AMD may have rough
ID working well before they ship in public. CPU stuff has slowed down a lot,
the 4,3n nodes are not easy, obviously.
5. DRIVES: Many more drive vendors and drive IDs.
6. RAM: More RAM vendors. Note that it's not unusual for a Drive vendor to also
make RAM, and vice versa.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CHANGES:
1a. GRAPHICS: For API, show OpenGL mesa-v: x.x.x separate from main API v:
string. Also only shows the actual API version with v: now, like v: 4.5. Also
shows vendor: nvidia v: 340.23 for nvidia, without mesa. Falls back for
unhandled cases or syntaxes to the whole version string for v:.
1b. GRAPHICS: For OpenGL, shows compat-v: always if present, that was a mistake
not to show it unless -Gx, since otherwise you'd think you are running a
different version. Not a common situation, but on legacy hardware, can happen.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DOCUMENTATION:
1a. DOCS: docs/inxi-cpu.txt - reorganized into more coherent sections, like with
like, etc. Added better top Sections navigation since there is so much data.
1b. DOCS: docs/inxi-resources.txt - moved last code tricks to
docs/tips-tricks.txt.
1c. DOCS: new docs/ files inxi-battery.txt, inxi-debuggers.txt,
inxi-devices.txt, inxi-kernel.txt, inxi-machine.txt, inxi-network.txt,
inxi-raid-logical.txt, inxi-start-client.txt, inxi-tty.txt, inxi-weather.
These new files cleaned out docs/inxi-data.txt and docs/inxi-resources.txt,
which are now merely placeholder files, and have no data in them beyond pointers
to the actual data files.
1d. DOCS: docs/inxi-custom-recommends.txt updated for SUSE/Fedora packag name
fixes and new eglinfo and vulkaninfo items.
2a. DATA: moved more data from non public data to shared. Refactored directories
to be better organized, and to follow the overall inxi data structures better.
2b. DATA: added many more eglinfo, glxinfo, vulkaninfo to data/graphics. Also
added some clinfo, vainfo just in case decide to support those APIs.
3a. MAN/OPTIONS: updated for new graphics API features, new verbsity features,
etc.
3b. MAN/OPTIONS: added -U arguments for man, for some reason I'd left those out.
Also removed options references to -U 1, 2, because those should never be used,
if those versions of inxi even exist, they are ancient. Added -U 4 option, and
explanation of when/why to use it.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CODE:
1a. FAKE DATA: updated paths for fake data to reflect data reorganization.
1b. FAKE DATA: Added --fake egl,glx,vulkan for GRAPHICS API.
2. GRAPHICS: Fully refactored opengl_output, moved to gl_data/opengl_output.
Added egl_data, egl_output, and vulkan_data, vulkan_output, and some other
tools.
3. UPDATE: if downloader is set to 'perl', aka, Tiny::HTTP, and -U 4 is used,
which is a direct FTP download of the inxi/pinxi files, tiny is disabled, and
the next available downloader (wget/curl/fetch) is used instead.
4. DEBUGGER: added clinfo, eglinfo, es2_info, vainfo, vdpauinfo, vulkaninfo.
