Bug#485902: installation-report: Use /sys/class/dmi/id/* when dmidecode isn't available
Package: installation-reports
Version: 2.35
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
Hello
Recent kernels provides some DMI information in /sys/class/dmi/id/.
This could be used by report-hw (and installation-report) in the case
where dmidecode isn't installed (tiny Debian installation, etc).
I've attached a simple proof-of concept patch. Here's a sample output :
