Hi Simon Quigley, Debian Maintainer,
We are rebooting the very nice app called hardinfo as hardinfo2.
- There is no other app like this one, so it deserves a space.
GitHub - https://github.com/hardinfo2/hardinfo2
Project www - https://hardinfo2.org
*Reason for name change:*
- the domain is used for private stuff
- the hardinfo name is unavailable for community
The package is still called hardinfo to allow for upgrading - but
everything else is changed to hardinfo2 for the program name, github
name, homepage, etc.
*We would like a little help upgrading the app in the Debian, if that
is possible.*
Please check out this prerelease - if you could provide feedback for
the package building system, thanx.
https://github.com/hardinfo2/hardinfo2/releases/tag/release-2.0.5pre
In the past every distro released this package with different compiler
settings and dependencies and optional apps, resulting in poor user
experience.
- So putting the packaging into the project should give a common
ground for developers and distro maintainers.
- And due to no release for more than 10 years, a lot of users are
also going to the source code in GitHub - a package is a better way of
helping them.
*
Changes:*
On the prerelease page is also an overview of changes for hardinfo2
versus hardinfo in Debian.
*Status:
*The contributions have almost vanished to zero due to no releases -
but we hope to get the community active now with a new Debian and
Redhat release.
I am working with lpereira, the original app creater, who is busy, but
has agreed to be my backup in case anything happens.
Please include her in all responses, thanx.
*_We still have some work before a release_*, but would like your
feedback on the build/packaging system, etc.
In advance thanx,

Best Regards
hardinfo2
