Description Jeff Kirsher 2017-09-20 22:07:19 UTC

Description of problem:
update-pciids script uses the URL http://pciids.sourceforge.net/pci.ids, which is no longer valid.  The pci.ids maintainer has removed the file from the sourceforge site and is using this URL http://pci-ids.ucw.cz/v2.2/pci.ids in the latest pciutils scripts.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
3.5.1

How reproducible:
consistently everytime

Steps to Reproduce:
1. run `update-pciids` as root
2.
3.

Actual results:
The command will timeout trying to find pci.ids file on sourceforge

Expected results:
The pci.ids is downloaded and updates the local pci.ids file

Additional info:

Comment 2 Michal Hlavinka 2017-09-22 10:39:48 UTC

Not reproducible for me. Are you sure?

$ wget -q http://pciids.sourceforge.net/pci.ids -O pci.sf.ids
$ wget -q http://pci-ids.ucw.cz/v2.2/pci.ids -O pci.ucw.ids
$ sha1sum pci.sf.ids pci.ucw.ids 
cc8c0a0929a913aa39a5ac7c2f128e5dc244702d  pci.sf.ids
cc8c0a0929a913aa39a5ac7c2f128e5dc244702d  pci.ucw.ids

They both exist and have the same content

Jeff was talking about this in the weekly Intel meeting.  I'll reach out to him for additional details.  IIUC, Intel has been concerned with the sourceforge location for sometime and wants it changed to the new location listed above.

From Jeff (in email):

My concern was that the pci.ids maintainer has updated the update-pciids script in pciutils git repo to use http://pci-ids.ucw.cz website, and he has it listed in the TODO document in the git repo to remove the sourceforge.net site.  Even on the pci.ids.sourceforge.net site, he has it stating that the "official" site has moved and provides a link to the http://pci-ids.ucw.cz site.

When using the update-pciids utility that gets bundled with RHEL and Fedora, I had issues using the script to update the local pci.ids file, but once I edited the update-pciids script to the http://pci-ids.ucw.cz url, it worked just fine.

Comment 7 Rachel Sibley 2017-12-01 18:22:21 UTC

ALL TESTS PASSED

Verified as passed, pci.ids url has been updated to http://pci-ids.ucw.cz for update-pciids script.
