Jean Delvare <address@hidden> described the package as follows:
License: gpl
Other License: 
Package: DMI Tools
System name: dmidecode
Type: non-GNU

Description:
I am now the active developer and maintainer of dmidecode, a DMI table decoder 
tool primarily written by Alan Cox. I would like to use Savannah to offer other 
developers the possibility to work on it, as well as a place for me to release 
my improvements.

The original source code is here:
ftp://ftp.linux.org.uk/pub/linux/alan/Software/System/DMI/dmidecode.c

My (not yet released) improvements include several bugfixes and, more 
important, a complete support for SMBIOS specs version 2.3.3. It also provides 
a better separation between DMI and non-DMI BIOS entrypoints.

Further developpements are planed.
 - separation of detection code and output code
 - XML output
 - libraryzation
 - support of future SMBIOS specs
 - DMI table encoding (no use for now AFAIK)



Other Software Required:
None, I guess that everyone has gcc installed :)
