[arch-dev-public] [RFC] dropping cpufrequtils
Hi guys, As was discussed some time ago, I'd like to drop cpufrequtils from our repos. It is dead upstream, and has been replaced by cpupower (in community). I see no reason to move cpupower out of community, but let me know if you disagree. The only blocker now is that gnome-applets depend on cpufrequtils and cpupower is not binary/source compatible. There are patches around though, so shouldn't be a big problem. Comments? Tom

cpupower currently has no hook for pm-utils. I attached the one I'm using. gnome-applets are deprecated anyway (they don't work with gnome-shell). We can just kick out the cpufreq-applet.

Sébastien: Could you have a look at the attached file?

Ok. I'll drop cupfrequtils from the repos, so gnome-applets will have to drop cpufrq-applet on the next rebuild. Do you want to push a new version of gnome-applets before I drop the package? -t

Kyle Keen told me on IRC that archboot is now broken because it depends of cpufrequtils. -- Sébastien "Seblu" Luttringer www.seblu.net

Rather we should fix archboot (probably just a deps to change) as a quick grep let thinking that only use 2 files which are also provided by cpupower: /usr/bin/cpufreq-bench_plot.sh and /etc/cpufreq-bench.conf. -- Sébastien "Seblu" Luttringer www.seblu.net

I would release a new version, but util-linux in testing blocks me. You can always install archboot with -d option. greetings tpowa -- Tobias Powalowski Archlinux Developer & Package Maintainer (tpowa) http://www.archlinux.org tpowa@archlinux.org
