It would probably be better to add "--no-*" options for each probe |
2 |
section. For example: |
3 |
|
4 |
--no-fstab |
5 |
--no-lsblk |
6 |
--no-xorg-conf |
7 |
--no-xorg-log |
8 |
--no-dmesg |
9 |
|
10 |
And to have the page in the hw-probe wiki where these sections (and |
11 |
disable parameters) are documented. And then link to this page could be |
12 |
added to the Privacy section in the README.md. |
13 |
|
14 |
So in the result each user will be able to determine which data he want |
15 |
to share without modifying probe files. |
