Hello All! Now not only a debian users can install it w/o any effords, but Fedora Linux users too.
$ sudo yum install flashrom
Although this handy tool still in pending state for pushing into Fedora 7 updates testing repository (just formal procedure but it takes some time) users of Fedora Core 6 and Fedora Development may install it as soon as mirrors will be synchronized with main Fedora source.
Another one think I want to say - we have wishlist with small amount of entries:
================================================== ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: bugzilla@redhat.com bugzilla@redhat.com Date: 06.09.2007 19:50 Subject: [Bug 250924] Review Request: flashrom - Simple program for reading/writing BIOS chips content To: lemenkov@gmail.com
[sorry, skipped]
Optional: Can you ask upstream to add an license header to udelay.c and include a copy of their license in the repository?
There are some build warnings that should be reported upstream: layout.c: In function 'read_romlayout':
layout.c:114: warning: ignoring return value of 'fscanf', declared with attribute warn_unused_result flashrom.c: In function 'main':
flashrom.c:402: warning: ignoring return value of 'fwrite', declared with attribute warn_unused_result flashrom.c:421: warning: ignoring return value of 'fread', declared with attribute warn_unused_result

And another one note - flashrom can't be built at PowerPC arch due to lack of <sys/io.h>. Does anybody also tried to build it at this arch? How powerpc-users of LinuxBIOS (if any) flash their machines?
