Yes, i work on this issue.
I use this packages for my company and we know there is a lot work to
improve it.
Our need is to have a running inventory agent for all our OS, i mean
Linux, Windows, Aix, Solaris, ...
We are actualy working on the new "OCS Inventory NG Unix Unified Agent",
fully written in perl, which should/must works on all arch.
http://www.ocsinventory-ng.org/index.php?page=beta-test
We are aleady using it on RHEL 2-4, Fedora 3-6, AIX 5.x, Solaris 9.
Working on this new agent, i have split, from ocsinventory-agent (which
will become obsolete), a sub-package ocsinventory-ipdiscover (which is
still needed). That's why ocsinventory became "noarch".
I waiting for the "beta" test before posting a review for this new
agent, but it's already available for testing :

Probably, if you don't know which works are in progress.

I'm really sad if you think i'm one.

Help/Test on new ocsinventory-agent is probably more useful.
