[Linuxconsole-commit] SF.net SVN: linuxconsole:[2421] trunk +The evtest tool, which used to be part of this package, is now +maintained separately at http://cgit.freedesktop.org/evtest/ and +https://bugzilla.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=evtest CC:

herbert Indeed, linuxconsoletools is just the new name of input-utils, and evtest was split off. As to why it isn't packaged in Mageia, I'm not sure, though the evtest dev seems to encourage using evemu instead, which we provide: http://who-t.blogspot.dk/2013/11/evtest-is-dead-long-live-evemu.html I'm not conviced that evemu is the right tool for what evtest usually did, i.e. sniff for events to configure some kind of IR receiver or setup lirc. But I don't see a problem with having both, especially as evtest is quite uncomplicated to build. Best, Herbert Changing to a new RPM package request then, for Cauldron and Mageia 5 (since evtest was available in Mageia 4 IIUC, it might be provided again via Core Updates in Mageia 5). Severity:
major =>
normal

pkg-bugs Sorry, bugs@ml and pkg-bugs@ml members, for the avalanche. 72 bugs with the "New RPM package request" component, had a severity of "normal" or more, which can lead to losing precious time when searching Bugzilla for bugs that urgently need to get fixed Now mass-changing that to "enhancement", as it should be for package requests. https://wiki.mageia.org/en/How_to_report_a_bug_properly#How_to_file_a_package_request @ the reporter of this package request Please check in http://madb.mageia.org/ whether this software did already get packaged, and close this bug report if it did. Please do also close it if you find a package with the same purpose, that meets your needs. Severity:
normal =>
enhancement Packaged it for git-build, here: https://github.com/xrg/evtest RPMs will appear pretty soon in the Hellug repo. CC:

xrg Any plans to get it into Mageia? Can we please have evtest.rpm or even the entire input-tools package in MGA6? CC:
