When the drivedb.h gets automatically updated by update-smart-drivedb then the next upgrade of smartmontools will get a conffile prompt that will have to be manually resolved by a user who won't necessarily be able to do that, so I don't think that this would be a good idea. I also don't think any users need the ability to add their own entries to drivedb.h, generally people will only pull the latest version in. So I think my original suggestion is the better option. Apart from the $Id version, it might be possible to rely on the dates returned by the VCS web servers, I haven't checked this though. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
