Upstream is not really active, he answers me every 2 or 3 months. Moreover one third to half of the code is actually written by me... He told me he would open a CVS on sf.net or somewhere else, so that I can also contribute.

Well this is not the case for all disks older than 2 years old. And a lot of users have such type of disks. I personally own 5 or 6 disks without temperature sensors. Also I don't really want to diverge from upstream, even if it is not really active. But maybe I will simply fork hddtemp at some point. BTW if you have a name for the fork... Bye, Aurelien -- .''`.
