-# Taken from the README
-%description
-This command-line application identifies VIA IDE controllers installed in the
-computer, and displays various information/statistics regarding these. This
-does not depend on the via82cxxx kernel IDE driver, and will work regardless of
-whether it is present or not. All this information used to be available through
-/proc/ide/via; however this file was removed in Linux 2.6.15 to reduce the
-complexity of the IDE driver. Since it performs some basic port I/O, it must be
-run as root.
