[LinuxBIOS] FYI flashrom included in Fedora Linux since yesterday.

[Peter Lemenkov]

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:

[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?
