Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
Since I don't have a Vaio anymore I am unable to test this package
properly. I think it should be adopted by someone who can.
Package description:
This module creates some entries in /proc/vaio concerning battery and
power usage information, and LCD brightness levels on Sony Vaio
laptops.
Although on newer laptops some of this information is handled by
ACPI as well, this module is required for some older ones, and still
works on the newer ones. Recent kernel sources include a SONYPI
module that provides similar functionality to this one, but it
cannot change LCD brightness on some laptops where this module
works.
The module is effectively dead upstream (upstream author also lost his
Vaio). When I took over the package (because the previous maintainer
lost his Vaio) I tried to rewrite the module's build system for 2.6.x
kernels, but didn't manage to make it really sleek - it only works
reliably when used with kernel-package. There's an open bug (#296566)
caused by me forgetting to adjust the build instructions in the README
file. When I tried to improve the instructions I discovered that my
rewritten build system should never have worked at all. It may be an
advantage to have prior experience with kernel modules and interfacing
with the kernel build system than I do, but do not let it stop you if
you have none - I haven't either.
Warning: if the historical record is any guide, involvement with this
package will cause you to lose your Vaio.

We believe that the bug you reported is now fixed; the following
package(s) have been removed from unstable:
vaiostat | 1.2-7 | source
vaiostat-source | 1.2-7 | all
Note that the package(s) have simply been removed from the tag
database and may (or may not) still be in the pool; this is not a bug.
The package(s) will be physically removed automatically when no suite
references them (and in the case of source, when no binary references
it). Please also remember that the changes have been done on the
master archive (ftp-master.debian.org) and will not propagate to any
mirrors (ftp.debian.org included) until the next cron.daily run at the
earliest.
Packages are never removed from testing by hand. Testing tracks
unstable and will automatically remove packages which were removed
from unstable when removing them from testing causes no dependency
problems.
Bugs which have been reported against this package are not automatically
removed from the Bug Tracking System. Please check all open bugs and
close them or re-assign them to another package if the removed package
was superseded by another one.
Thank you for reporting the bug, which will now be closed. If you
have further comments please address them to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
This message was generated automatically; if you believe that there is
a problem with it please contact the archive administrators by mailing
