I don't mind if that happens, but I'm probably not going to do the work. I don't think any program expects to find the compressed version and decompress it on its own. I think any program that's going to read the compressed version and has any idea about it is going to use the routines from libpci. In that case, it should be transparent and the only important thing is that the program links to zlib as well as libpci. Alternatively, there are that programs just parse lspci output, in which case it doesn't matter what's happening behind the scenes. The one main client I know of for pci.ids is hal, though. I'm probably forgetting about something, though. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
