Why the hell does hwdetect have to be in the initscripts pkg if it is going to need so many updates? Generally I am pretty understanding of the devs and their odd whims but this one takes the biscuit. I could not give two shits about hwdetect and certainly don't want it on my system if I don't need it and I certainly don't want to have to mess about with the inevitable .pacnew files everyday just because hwdetect is being updated. Aside from all that it's a PITA for me and the gensplah initscripts - I have to update the whole pkg when hwdetect gets fixed and that should be handled entirely separately. Why on earth can't hwdetect run using a daemon like hotplug rather than having it hardcoded and then be totally optional. Quite frankly I'm amazed.
I guess it would be less annoying if hwdetect wasn't a) so buggy b) reinventing the wheel and c) anti the Arch ethos. Sort it out, please. Phil _______________________________________________ arch mailing list [email protected] http://www.archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch
