Are you sure it should be hardinfo2
and not hardinfo
? I tend to treat numeric suffixes in cases where fooN+1
supercedes fooN
or foo
, or where's there was no fooN
or foo
[in the wild] to begin with (like for instance with mandelbulber2
) as technical and insignificant and merge into mere foo
. It also doesn't feel correct to merge legacy hardinfo into hardinfo2 which it's not.
The new community project name is hardinfo2 which is also the package name.
The old maintainer would not give the domain as it was used for personal stuff - has given so much trouble, but that's how it is.
All old versions before 2.0.0 are a mess - most are some just taken from unstable git as no release was made and they had lots of bugs in Debian and a lot more not found/reported. The project lost both the maintainers interest and the benchmark server without backup. See history here: https://hardinfo2.org/history
The old hardinfo repo is removed soon - https://github.com/lpereira/hardinfo/blob/master/README.md
hardinfo 0.5.1+Mess -> hardinfo2 2.1.11 - https://github.com/hardinfo2/hardinfo2/releases/tag/release-2.1.11
I just want to could see all repos having the updated version 2.0.0+ along with the once I expect it to get backported to - We support ~10 years back porting.
hardinfo needs a clean out with updates, but not EOL distro is not the same as updateable and if they cannot be updated, they have no interest in the maintenance eye.
That's why a minimum version of package in order for it to show in the badge is important for maintaining the merged package name hardinfo2.
Does that explain the situation?
I decided to make my own filter for this corner case.
As agreed - added rule to merge hardinfo into hardinfo2.
