I can take hw-probe if you agree
Yes, Ιωάννης, please do.
I have no objection who the next maintainer will be.
I could send you my latest slackbuild script with update to 1.6.6 and
patch for removing pacman invocation if you want. Please drop me a
message
if you do.
I will use AppImage that has no requires and run fine in
slackware-15.0
Please don't use an AppImage. hw-probe is written in Perl, and Perl
isn't a "moving target". This is a tiny perl script with no support
files needed at runtime.
If you do take hw-probe over, can I suggest adding some of its
documentation
to the /usr/doc/hw-probe-$VERSION dir? LICENSE.md, README.md, NEWS.md,
and
the 2 licenses in the LICENSES/ dir should be in the package IMO.
Those were added to my latest submisison alongisde with the version
update
and patcing the script to avoid running pacman.
If you absolutely *insist* on using an AppImage, please submit it as a
new build called hw-probe-bin.
Repackaging a binary should be a last resort, when it's the only way
to get something to work on Slackware. That's not the case with
hw-probe.
I updated it locally to the latest release (1.6.6) and it works fine.
