Hi,
Since ~two years back Ubuntu ships alsa-info.sh on new installations, in order to have bug reports that are upstream compatible.
However, alsa-info.sh seems to be a part of the alsa-driver git tree, and the alsa-driver package is not released anymore, since we think that is a part of the Linux kernel. As a result, alsa-info.sh is no longer part of an upstream tarball that we can package in the usual way.
So maybe we should move alsa-info somewhere else, e g alsa-utils? What do you think?
+1. alsa-utils or alsa-tools is a better place to maintain.
I'd prefer alsa-utils over alsa-tools: alsa-utils seems to have generic utilities and alsa-tools specialised ones (i e for some specific hardware). Since alsa-info is a generic tool (usable for everyone, regardless of driver/hardware), alsa-utils seems to be a better fit.
OK, I put alsa-info.sh to alsa-utils git repo now.
Jaroslav, could you relink on www.alsa-project.org?
