Way back for release 3.2.6 of the original procps top, a patch was introduced to explain abbreviations in the summary area showing cpu state percentages. Ever since that time the the 'id/idle' category has been missing. This patch simply corrects that oversight, having been noticed after a review of the outstanding Ubuntu bugs. Reference(s): . deficiency yet unresolved (May 2010) https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/procps/+bug/574624 . patch incorporated into 'ng' (Feb 2011) commit ee5fd1dce1fe91531b8ee5ec3d7c6620fb7dc6a3 . cpu states doc requests (Jun 2005, Jan 2004) https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=312157 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=228899 Signed-off-by: Jim Warner <james.warner@comcast.net>

Read './configure --help' to select options for your needs. ./configure make make install If you have DejaGNU installed you can run optional test suite. make check HOW TO CONTRIBUTE See Documentation/BUGS file. PACKAGING If you are a downstream maintainer (packager) for a Linux distribution, please avoid causing troubles. This section applies to you. Avoid maintaining distribution specific patches. Send your patches to upstream, where they are at least reviewed, if not included. Please forward bug reports. If your bug database is public and busy enough to bother with, please make this known. Follow Debian's lead in making the bug database easy to comment on via email without need for an account. For normal packages, ensure that you do not add debugging flags to the CFLAGS variable.
