The makefile uses uname -m to decide which programs to build on i386 vs.
x86_64 (and then builds the same programs on both, but thats a different
story). Teach it about i86pc, which is what SunOS usually returns on an
x86 machine.
"Support for SMBIOS 2.6.1 and 2.7 was added. This includes new enumerated values
for recent hardware, as well as support for large memory modules and arrays, and
a new entry type for management controller host interfaces. Additionally, many
minor bugs were fixed."
Patch provided by Sergey Svishchev via PR 40104.
dmidecode:
* Support for Solaris (x86 only, of course).
* Possibility to dump the SMBIOS/DMI table to a small binary file
(option --dump-bin).
* Possibility to read the SMBIOS/DMI table from such binary files
(option --from-dump).
* Support for SMBIOS 2.6. This includes new chassis types, new
processor family names, new processor family upgrade names, bus
address for system slots, and a new entry type for on-board devices,
amongst many other minor changes.
* Support for DMI entry type 31 (Boot integrity services).
* Many processor family names taken from the CIM Schema document.
vpddecode:
* No longer ask users to report broken records.
* Fix --quiet option.
And okayed by maintainer.
Many changes, see CHANGELOG for all. Here are some highlights:
* dmidecode.c: Add option -u, --dump. It disables decoding of the
entries, raw dumps are displayed instead. This option is mainly
intended for debugging.
* vpddecode.c: Add option -u, --dump. It disables decoding of the
VPD records, a raw dump is displayed instead. This option is
mainly intended for debugging.
* dmidecode.c: Add option -t, --type. It limits the output to
the given type(s) of DMI entries.
* dmiopt.c: Define keywords to be used with --type (instead of
numeric values).
* dmidecode.c, dmiopt.c, dmiopt.h: Add option -q, --quiet. It
makes the output less verbose.
* dmidecode.c, dmiopt.c, dmiopt.h: Add option -s, --string. It
prints one selected DMI string instead of the regular output.
This also installs AUTHORS, CHANGELOG, and README.
And I added "@dirrm share/doc/dmidecode" to PLIST.
patch-aa to use PKGMANDIR and also sets docdir.
Dmidecode is a tool for dumping a computer's DMI (some say SMBIOS)
table contents in a human-readable format. This table contains a
description of the system's hardware components, as well as other
useful pieces of information such as serial numbers and BIOS
revision.
