Re: [PATCH RESEND][pciutils] libpci: pci_id_lookup - add udev/hwdb support

[Martin Mares]

Hi!

> Ping?

Sorry for the delay, I was alternatingly ill and overloaded with other stuff...

As I said before, I do not like the current implementation of hwdb much (it's
too much tied to Linux, and hardware description strings, originally intended
for internal use between the kernel and its modules, are far from a nice API).

I would prefer a more general HW identification library and I am willing to
write it, but I have to admit that with my current load, it will be hardly
finished before this summer.

I will merge your patches. It's better to have the current hwdb than nothing.

				Have a nice fortnight
