Description Stephen 2007-07-18 13:25:06 UTC

Current fedora release of thinkfinger is 2.2.4, current upstream release of
thinkfinger is 0.3.

One item in NEWS is:

* avoid fingerprint device from heating up

The fingerprint device on my ThinkPad does indeed get really warm -- my right
hand is sweating!

It would be great if the latest release could be pushed for Fedora.

Thanks.

Comment 1 Jose Plans 2007-07-18 13:29:24 UTC

One of the reasons 0.3 has not yet been pushed into Fedora is the fact of the
usage of uinput.ko that requires manual changes on your system to load the
module on boot time.

However the fix could be backported into the Fedora package. 
I leave Julian decide.

Comment 2 Julian Sikorski 2007-07-18 13:53:00 UTC

The package that is in rawhide loads the module automatically. I was planning to
push this into F-7 branch, but the SOCKS proxy I was using to ssh the cvs broke
:( Jose, if you are familiar with fedora cvs, please push the devel updates into
F-7.

Comment 3 Julian Sikorski 2007-08-04 14:00:44 UTC

Submitted to be pushed to testing.
