https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=250924 Summary: Review Request: flashrom - Simple program for reading/writing BIOS chips content Product: Fedora Version: devel Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: medium Priority: medium Component: Package Review AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] QAContact: [EMAIL PROTECTED] CC: [email protected],[EMAIL PROTECTED] Spec URL: http://peter.fedorapeople.org/flashrom.spec SRPM URL: http://peter.fedorapeople.org/flashrom-0.0-1.2742svn.fc7.src.rpm Description: Utility which can be used to detect BIOS chips (DIP, PLCC), read their contents and write new contents on the chips ("flash the chip"). All of you, no doubt, heard something about LinuxBIOS project which has slow but constant progress in providing completely open startup-firmware (also known as BIOS) for a not so little number of mainboards (from desktop ones to more specific). Since the project continues to rise there are some utilities appears which may be useful even for users of proprietary BIOSes. One of such utilities is flashrom - it helps (re)flashing firmware w/o needs to create LiveCDs powered with my grandma's 8-bit DOS and rebooting to it. See some user cases at the link below: http://www.hermann-uwe.de/blog/flashing-a-bios-the-linux-way-tm-using-flashrom I've got some thing to discuss - versioning of this package. Upstream still haven't any version (just svn revision) so I decided to name it as flashrom-0.0-1.2742svn.fc7 but maybe it would be better to name it like flashrom-0-1.2742svn.fc7 or something similar? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. _______________________________________________ Fedora-package-review mailing list [email protected] http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-review
