File lm_sensors-3.0.3-hint-at-kernel-extra-package.patch of Package sensors (Revision 10)

Currently displaying revision 10, show latest

Now that the kernel package is split into 3 parts, it is possible
that not all required hwmon drivers are installed on the system when
sensors-detect is being run. Point the user to the kernel-*-extra
package if drivers are found to be missing.
