Re: [dmidecode] contribute to dmidecode for spec 2.8 and 3.0

[sai]

Hi Jean,

Yes, thanks for the information and the ticket about Contribution 
information. I think I spoke too soon :). I was using dmidecode-2.12 via 
buildroot and thought that was on the HEAD of the source tree. I 
realized after I did a git clone of the code that all that I needed was 
already there.

I found a typo that the 2.8 specification corrected that I didn't see in 
the code so I'll submit that :).

I was also wondering why aren't the names such as '(7.5.2) Processor 
Family' are not the same as those in the specification ?
