This is a bundling of the i2c and lm_sensors packages for use in either patching against a kernel source tree or building externally to the kernel. QUICKSTART ---------- To patch against the kernel (as the proper user w/ permissions to alter the kernel source tree): # tar xzvf lm-sensors-x.x.x.tar.gz # cd lm-sensors-x.x.x # cd i2c [ Read COPYING, README, INSTALL, and other docs as needed ] # mkpatch/mkpatch.pl . /usr/src/linux | patch -p1 -d /usr/src/linux # cd ../lm_sensors2 [ Read COPYING, README, INSTALL, and other docs as needed ] # mkpatch/mkpatch.pl . /usr/src/linux | patch -p1 -d /usr/src/linux # cd /usr/src/linux # make clean Then configure, build, and install your kernel as usual. You will notice the you have some new kernel configuration options to use. To build the package independently of the kernel, please read the README's and INSTALLs in i2c and lm_sensors2.
