The keywords Revision, Date and Id were being expanded by Subversion way back when the project was being maintained in Subversion. Now when the project is maintained in git, the keywords are no longer expanded and appear e.g. in the output of sensors-detect literally. Drop the keywords, or replace them with LM_SENSORS_VER where applicable. The value of the constant will have to be updated manually every time a new release is made. Inspired by a similar change in i2c-tools (commit daa430031ffd; thanks, Jean).
This directory contains files useful for initialization scripts, especially for RedHat. There are two choices, lm_sensors.init and sensord.init. Use one or the other but not both! ---------------- The script lm_sensors.init is a nice startup/shutdown script. On RH and other RH-based systems (MDK, notably) use this sort of startup mechanism (i.e. SVR4-based), as opposed to the everything-in-one-script (/etc/rc or /etc/rc.local) like the BSD-based systems do. The lm_sensors.init file should be copied to /etc/rc.d/init.d/lm_sensors. For more information see the top of the file. It requires the /etc/sysconfig/lm_sensors file, which identifies the correct modules. The /etc/sysconfig/lm_sensors file is generated by running sensors-detect. Once the script is done detecting the hardware monitoring devices, it will list all the required modules in that file, so that they can be loaded automatically at boot time. ---------------- The script sensord.init also loads the modules, and then starts the sensord daemon. See the manual page sensord(8) for more information on the daemon. The sensord.init file should be copied to /etc/rc.d/init.d/sensord. For more information see the top of the file. To configure this service one should put appropriate "alias i2c-bus-0 xxx" and "alias i2c-sensors-chip-0 xxx" in /etc/modules.conf.
