Description Graham Perrin 2020-12-30 13:01:20 UTC 
https://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/head/sysutils/hw-probe/Makefile?revision=536978&view=markup does not specify sysutils/usbutils but if I understand correctly: 

* usbutils is required for lsusb(8). 

Context
=======

Consider including things such as lsblk and usbutils, at least during the early stages of development of helloSystem · Issue #63 · helloSystem/ISO
<https://github.com/helloSystem/ISO/issues/63> 

– closed with https://github.com/helloSystem/ISO/commit/913ef5f9af88a7fab35fe698d36b5ef180182850

https://github.com/helloSystem/ISO/commit/913ef5f9af88a7fab35fe698d36b5ef180182850#diff-ba48011d35001eeaa41235c7a115fc5007325aacc87366e0858bf10e3c5fb456L93 hw-probe is already there.

<https://github.com/linuxhw/hw-probe/issues/101#issuecomment-859363330>

> This should be done downstream: …

Please consider adding these dependencies: 

sysutils/pciutils
sysutils/usbutils


% pkg provides /usr/local/bin/lspci
Name    : pciutils-3.7.0
Desc    : PCI configuration utilities
Repo    : FreeBSD
Filename: usr/local/bin/lspci
% pkg provides /usr/local/sbin/lsusb
Name    : usbutils-0.91
Desc    : Utility for listing USB devices
Repo    : FreeBSD
Filename: usr/local/sbin/lsusb
% 

Without these, a first probe of an HP ProBook 440 G7 lacked detail: 

<https://bsd-hardware.info/?probe=d2866f01b5#Logs>

The second was better:

Comment 2 Graham Perrin 2021-07-16 23:37:38 UTC 
Also: 

sysutils/lsblk

% pkg provides usr/local/sbin/lsblk
Name    : lsblk-3.5
Desc    : Lists information about block devices in the system
Repo    : FreeBSD
Filename: usr/local/sbin/lsblk

(In reply to Graham Perrin from comment #3)

sysutils/hwstat is recommended for FreeBSD installations newer than 8.1.

sysutils/pciutils and sysutils/usbutils are not recommended because we have pciconf and usbconfig instead in the system by default.

sysutils/lsblk is recommended.

For future: make sure new dependency is available on all architectures.

> sysutils/pciutils and sysutils/usbutils are not recommended

What about the resulting lack of detail?

What particular info is missed?
