hwinfo missing in 13.10

[bweinel]

Does anybody know what happened to hwinfo? It seems to be no longer included in the package repository with the 13.10 release. Was it deprecated? Did I missed it? Inquiring minds wish to know....

cheers,

Thanks Rog132...

I thought there must have been a good reason it was gone.
