Description of problem: hardinfo is woefully out of date. hardinfo2 is up to date. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): hardinfo-0.6-0.git20231013.1.mga10 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
Sorry, I was on my cauldron install when I wrote this. git20231013 for mga9 as well.
Thank you for the heads up! New packages are genreally set to Cauldron. Do you think it is similar enough to be offered as an update in mga9, or should we rather provide it in backports?

I think it is similar enough for an update in mga9. Could be missed if it was a backport.
Created attachment 14477 [details] spec file for hardinfo2 This should be imported at least in Cauldron as the support for hardinfo is already suspended. Also, hardinfo2 seems to have a better handling of their benchmarks database for various system comparisons. On the other hand there is not much difference between them from an end user experience unless reporter run into issues of course.

Installed hardinfo2 this morning. Found it waiting in updates. Seems to work great. No issues to report. Thank you!

Thank you for testing :) Now on mga9 I tried old hardinfo, seem to work well but I dont know what more hardinfo2 can do. Maybe worth it. But one note: running last tests, at bottom of GUI it asks for "Alexey Kopytov's sysbench", which i did not find packaged. Reopening for decisions: 1) Cauldron Mageia 10 I think should drop hardinfo, and only have hardinfo2. 2) Comment 3 & 4 makes me think that on mga9 we could put it in backport - if easy to package, and it can get some mileage before mga10.

(In reply to Stephen Germany from comment #3) > I think it is similar enough for an update in mga9. Could be missed if it > was a backport. I doubt that an update could swallow a change of package name. In Cauldron, DavidG has already replaced hardinfo by hardinfo2. For Mageia 9, I doubt that we can do this with a change of package name. Put it in Backports - possibly. Assigning to DavidG who will know how to do that - if it is considered worth it (which I doubt).
