[gentoo-user] pciutils: update-pciids

[James]

Hello,

It seems the gentoo version of pciutils does not include the
script to update the pci device ids:

http://pci-ids.ucw.cz/

So I looked at the latest available:
http://pci-ids.ucw.cz/v2.2/pci.ids
Date:    2009-09-18 03:15:01


The latest version on gentoo available 
via /usr/share/misc/pci.ids
is  Date:    2009-08-14 14:32:03



Should I just replace this file manually?

Would anyone know of a reason why the devs did
not implement 'update-pciids' ??????


thoughts?
caveats?

I have /usr/sbin/update-pciids as part of the package here...

According to the ebuild, it will even create a cronjob in /etc/cron.monthly ;)
