Some remarks (based on TFA, not on the mailinglist post):
* sensors working with lm_sensors
Note: I'm an upstream lm_sensors contributer and co-maintainer of most sensor
related packages in Fedora.
About lm_sensors not being installed by default, thats because for the average
users lm_sensors is not usable as it requires manual configuration.
About telling the user that he should run sensors-detect after installing
lm_sensors, when and how do you envision this being told to the user?
Urpmi spits a message out to the command line post-install:
[austin@blackbox ~]$ cat /usr/share/doc/lm_sensors/README.urpmi
* To use this package, you'll have to launch "sensors-detect" as root,
and ask few questions.
No need to modify startup files as shown at the end, all will be done.
* Special note for via686a and i2c-viapro : if you dont see the values,
you probably have a PCI conflict.
It will be corrected in next kernel. Change
the /etc/sysconfig/lm_sensors to use i2c-isa + via686a
(or i2c-viapro + another sensor)
[Sorry for the Mandriva English.]
In the case that the package in question is installed via rpmdrake,
urpmi message pop up in a graphical text box.
* menus: Games section too long
This can be fixed by doing "yum install games-menus"
Sweet. Good to know.
Thanks for the feedback, also please file bugs for all issues which
could be
considered such.
Working on it.
