   * Add another Xeon CPU (addresses #529349).
   * Update to standards version 3.8.1 (no change required).
   * On some (custom?) kernels the value used for switching to /proc/meminfo
     seems to differ. For now include the newly found values, a proper fix
     should be added later. This hopefully Closes: #529349
     (The submitter blacklisted my e-mail address, hence please reopen if it
     is not fixed)

 -- Helge Kreutzmann <debian@helgefjell.de>  Sun, 23 Apr 2006 14:57:44 +0000

linuxinfo (1.1.8-17) unstable; urgency=low

   * The layout of the RAM is non-trivial on MIPS as well, so the size of
     /proc/kcore reflects the highest memory address, not necessarily
     identically to the amount of RAM, so always use /proc/meminfo here,
     Closes: #355908
     Thanks to Thiemo Seufer for the explanation.
   * Do not look for endianess on mips, its deprecated. Thanks to
     Martin Michlmayr for noticing and explanation.
   * Use my new E-Mail address

 -- Helge Kreutzmann <debian@helgefjell.de>  Sun, 9 Apr 2006 15:27:53 +0000

   * Update to debhelper level 5
   * Add the first semperon to the known CPUs
   * Fix memory reporting on s390 (updated 16_s390-support.dpatch)
     Thanks to Frans Pop for helping me.
   * Remove superfluous space on big endian MIPS (addresses #355908)
     Memory reporting is still broken on these machines.

 -- Helge Kreutzmann <kreutzm@itp.uni-hannover.de>  Wed, 15 Mar 2006 20:55:03 +0100

linuxinfo (1.1.8-15) unstable; urgency=low

   * Even x86 / amd64 miss <string.h>, fixed.
   * Update dependency on debhelper to say ">= 4"
   * Include more information in bug reports to avoid asking the same
     question each time
   * Clarify that I maintain linuxinfo (Ola hasn't supplied anything since
     I took over maintenance)

 -- Helge Kreutzmann <kreutzm@itp.uni-hannover.de>  Sun, 12 Feb 2006 08:44:10 +0100

2005

linuxinfo (1.1.8-14) unstable; urgency=low

   * Update to debhelper level 4
   * Add a Celeron M CPU
   * Almost all arches (except sparc) did not include <string.h>. Now even
     arm has a patch (23_arm-fixes.dpatch). Hopefully no warnings occur at
     compile-time anymore now.

 -- Helge Kreutzmann <kreutzm@itp.uni-hannover.de>  Fri, 18 Nov 2005 18:10:50 +0100

linuxinfo (1.1.8-13) unstable; urgency=low

 -- Helge Kreutzmann <kreutzm@itp.uni-hannover.de>  Sun, 6 Nov 2005 11:38:16 +0100

linuxinfo (1.1.8-12) unstable; urgency=low

   * Add one more pentium4 machine
   * Improve regular expression for highmem detection (needed for some 2.4)

 -- Helge Kreutzmann <kreutzm@itp.uni-hannover.de>  Tue, 12 Apr 2005 15:07:22 +0200

linuxinfo (1.1.8-11) unstable; urgency=medium

   * Remove one debug statement on ia64
   * Fix memory detection on highmem system (the original size is already
     in kB, not in B as assumed previously)
   * On ia64 memory may be discontinous, hence we cannot trust /proc/kcore's
     size, always use alternate method.

 -- Helge Kreutzmann <kreutzm@itp.uni-hannover.de>  Tue, 22 Mar 2005 12:54:04 +0100

linuxinfo (1.1.8-10) unstable; urgency=low

   * HPPA: Print CPU type and try to get memory size.
   * IA64: For now always use family as model (improve later) and try to get memory size.
   * Sparc: 18_sparc_update.dpatch (new): Add one more model and add an
     alternate way to determine Bogomips value
   * PPC: 19_ppc-without_bogomips.dpatch (new): Since some ppc machines do not
     print bogomips the cpu counting had to be switched to the cpu-field.
 
     Again thanks to all who provided me their machine infos.
 
   * Added a new contact address of upstream.

 -- Helge Kreutzmann <kreutzm@itp.uni-hannover.de>  Fri, 18 Mar 2005 19:10:41 +0100

linuxinfo (1.1.8-9) unstable; urgency=low

   * Join 13_x86-add-detection.dpatch and 21_model-detection_fix.dpatch
     since they both operate on the same file.
   * Add lots of amd64 machines (thanks all those who sent me their
     info)

 -- Helge Kreutzmann <kreutzm@itp.uni-hannover.de>  Wed, 23 Feb 2005 16:14:48 +0100

2004

linuxinfo (1.1.8-8) unstable; urgency=low

   * Support highmem (on x86 at least) by reading /proc/meminfo.
     This tends to be a few MB too low, though. Closes: #258997.
   * Support SMP machines on the alpha architecture (at least the
     one I have access to).
   * Add more machines (grouped now in 13_x86-add-detection.dpatch)
   * Fix miss-detection of Pentium MMX as Xeon.

 -- Helge Kreutzmann <kreutzm@itp.uni-hannover.de>  Mon, 9 Aug 2004 20:27:33 +0200

   * New maintainer; Ola Lundqvist remains uploader.
   * Added mips, closes: #243519. As I do not own a mips based machine,
