Здравствуйте.
Пользуясь тем, что фриз ещё не объявлен -- заливаю в incoming
pciutils-3.0.0-alt1 с изменившимся soname (впрочем, собственно
изменения от 2.99.1 в сизифе минимальны).
Соответственно потребуется пересобрать зависимых от libpci.so.*
-- наверное, лучше автоматом.
Также просьба заинтересованным обратить внимание на то, что автор
ищет дополнительные secondary DNS для обслуживания lspci -q/-Q.
PS: у меня опять слегка наблюдается желание в 4.1 переместить
pci.ids туда, где их обычно ищут...

Hello, world!\n
I have just released pciutils-3.0.0 to the wild.
The actual differences from the previous test release are close to zero,
I have only changed the versions of the API and ABI.
Here is a list of the most significant changes against the previous
stable version for those who did not follow the development closely:
* The makefile system has been reworked. All configuration settings
are now passed to the configure script in environment variables,
allowing for easy tweaking in the top-level Makefile. All control
knobs are now described in the README.
* The libpci can be built as a shared library with properly restricted
symbol exports. Use `make SHARED=yes' to enable that or `make SHARED=local'
for a local testing build (with hardwired paths to the library, so that
it does not need installation).
* The i386-ports method is enabled on Linux/x86_64 as well.
* Support for resolving of PCI ID's using DNS together with a local
cache of resolved entries has been added. See the `-q' and `-Q' options
of lspci.
* The library now has a generic system of settable parameters, which
also include settings of the DNS resolver and cache. An `-O' option
has been added to lspci and setpci to allow setting of these options.
* An `-A' switch has been added to both lspci and setpci, allowing to
select an arbitrary access method. The `-P' switch (configure proc
backend) has been removed as it is no longer needed and I do not know
any its user.
* When an unknown device ID is encountered, we print `Device <id>'
instead of `Unknown device <id>'. It uses less space and it also
should reduce the number of inexperienced users complaining that
the device is not supported by the OS. To lookup up OS drivers,
use the `-k' option.
I had only a little feedback from the beta testers on non-Linux systems,
so it is quite possible that the new version does not build there. As soon
I gather some useful reports, I will release 3.0.1 which will be better
portable.
We are also still searching for people willing to provide a secondary DNS
server for the ID zone.
Have a nice fortnight
