Package: lshw Version: 02.18-0.1 Severity: important Dear maintainer,
It looks like upstream for lshw is quite dead, however, there's a fork available in here: https://github.com/lyonel/lshw What I found horrible with lshw, is that its json output is completely broken. Just try to make jq parse it, and you'll see what I mean. The good news is that this fork has a repaired version of it, and the json output looks better now. It's still not fully working, but at least it does when requesting a specific class of hardware (which is what I currently need). For example, this works with the version on Github, when it doesn't with the current Sid version: ./src/lshw -class network 2>/dev/null -json | jq . Please get this new version in Debian. Cheers, Thomas Goirand (zigo)
