pinxi/inxi huge BSD updates, testers?
by h2-1 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5F1X5)
I bit the bullet and just redid big chunks of pinxi internally to enhanced BSD updates, I also managed to get more data working more reliably than ever before for FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD [never really had netbsd support in any real way before], and Dragonfly.
Since almost all my testing is on virtual machines, which have the same hardware profiles, the latest pinxi (the development version of inxi) would really benefit from some heavy testing from BSD users.
You can run pinxi alongside inxi, that's how it's designed to work, and you can install pinxi like so [change desired location to download to suite preferences, I prefer it in PATH to avoid having to remember where it is when I run it]. The only real dependency pinxi/inxi has is Perl5, so if you don't want to install that, this isn't for you.
# fast easy way:
using your favorite download tool: https://smxi.org/pinxi
Ex, OpenBSD/NetBSD: ftp -o /usr/local/bin/pinxi https://smxi.org/pinxi
which redirects to the github inxi-perl branch which is where pinxi lives. Avoid using git to grab it because that branch has a lot of other stuff in it, and all the branches have a ton of stuff together.
Added by request doas internal builtin support, along with sudo, either will work fine, but now pinxi is 'aware' of doas the same way it was of sudo, that was pretty easy to get working. Added usbconfig support, added pcictl support (netbsd), which I thought I had done, but hadn't. Added hammer support, which fixed some issues with disk sizes etc, and also cleaned up output in Partitions: -p report.
I'm particularly interested in the data you see with -Fazy and with -Jay (USB, which got a huge refactor to make it work better on BSDs), though -C, -D, -p, all saw big improvements for the BSDs, more data, subtle to not so subtle. Or just -zyv8 to show it all, filtered.
Note that it's very difficult for users to know when the data is correct or complete since you probably won't know the key things to look for.
Here's a sample from OpenBSD 6.8 [NetBSD is roughly similar in terms of what data is available, FreeBSD/Dragonfly are somewhat different], note the dmidecode errors, that's because dmidecode does not like running in a vm system, so I actually have no idea what works or does not work with dmidecode data. BSDs lean a bit more on dmidecode data than on linux, but I was glad to see a lot of the data sources are giving more data than before so I could fill in some missing areas.
With this many changes, and so many fixes for BSDs, I don't see how I could have not broken something that was working, though it was all slightly broken as it stood before these fixes, so any feedback is good.
