Bug ID: 904843
Summary: Review Request: acpica-tools - ACPICA tools for the
development and debug of ACPI tables
Product: Fedora
Version: rawhide
Component: Package Review
Severity: medium
Priority: unspecified
Reporter: [email protected]
Reason for Review: this is my very first Fedora package and I am seeking
sponsorship
Spec URL: http://fedorapeople.org/~ahs3/acpica-tools.spec
SRPM URL: http://fedorapeople.org/~ahs3/acpica-tools-20130123-1.f18.src.rpm
Description:
The ACPI Component Architecture (ACPICA) project provides an OS-independent
reference implementation of the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface
Specification (ACPI). ACPICA code contains those portions of ACPI meant to
be directly integrated into the host OS as a kernel-resident subsystem, and
a small set of tools to assist in developing and debugging ACPI tables.
This package contains only the user-space tools needed for ACPI table
development, not the kernel implementation of ACPI. The following commands
are installed:
-- iasl: compiles ASL (ACPI Source Language) into AML (ACPI Machine
Language), suitable for inclusion as a DSDT in system firmware.
It also can disassemble AML, for debugging purposes.
-- acpibin: performs basic operations on binary AML files (e.g.,
comparison, data extraction)
-- acpiexec: simulate AML execution in order to debug method definitions
-- acpihelp: display help messages describing ASL keywords and op-codes
-- acpinames: display complete ACPI name space from input AML
-- acpisrc: manipulate the ACPICA source tree and format source files
for specific environments
-- acpixtract: extract binary ACPI tables from acpidump output (see
also the pmtools package)

NB: the intent would be for this package to supercede the iasl package which
(a) only ships the iasl tool mentioned above from the same upstream source,
and (b) is a little bit dated. This would be the more complete version of
the ACPICA tools.
NB: this package does work on x86_64; it may or may not work properly on
i386 or ARM. Part of getting this package into Fedora is to provide for such
additional testing and/or porting as needed.
NB: the pmtools package contains an another version of acpixtract, also
quite dated. The intent would be to either supercede it, or as shown in
the spec file, have the version from this package as an alternative.
The x86_64 version does have a clean scratch build (task #4906409).
