Install usbutils by running the following commands:
sed -i 's|DEST=|&/usr/share/|' update-usbids.sh && ./configure --prefix=/usr && make
This package does not come with a test suite.
Now, as the root
user:
make install && install -v -m755 update-usbids.sh /usr/sbin/update-usbids
sed -i '...'
update-usbids.sh: This command is used to modify
the download script so that it will replace the existing file in
/usr/share
instead of in the current
directory.
The usb.ids
data file is constantly
being updated. To get a current version of this file, run
update-usbids as the
root
user. This program requires
the which-2.19 script or program to
find Wget-1.10.2 or Lynx-2.8.6rel.5
which are used to download the most current file, and replace the
existing file in /usr/share
.
You may wish to add an entry to root
's (or any other user who has write
privilege to /usr/share
) crontab to
automatically update the usb.ids
file
periodically.
