[gentoo-dev] packages not included with gentoo

[mjtaylor]

Hi, I just installed Gentoo recently and I've noticed a few things missing. 
lm_sensors and i2c aren't avalible with portage.  Also linux_logo isn't avalible
either.  

lm_sensors and i2c are used to read the temperatures, voltages, and fan speeds
off of motherboard sensors and the source is at http://www.netroedge.com/~lm78/

linux_logo draws a cool ansi penguin logo with some system information, usefull
for your /etc/issue login message.  It's webpage is at
http://www.deater.net/weave/vmwprod/linux_logo/

All three of these programs compiled and installed perfectly on my system.

Thanks for a great distro.

Please write a bug report requesting these programs, or even better 
create the ebuilds for them and submit them via bugzilla.

If you need help creating ebuilds, refer to:
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/gentoo-howto.html

If you need help knowing how to properly submit a ebuild, refer to:
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/ebuild-submit.html

Go on and make an ebuild. (and submit it on bugs.gentoo.org)
