From: Mattia Dongili <malat...@linux.it> Better late than never I guess, I spent some time to make the necessary changes to linux-tools to build power/cpupower and package it in a way that can eventually take over cpufrequtils and libcpufreq.
I really don't have a migration plan and I don't think I need one since the only conflicting package is the -dev one that provides cpufreq.h in both libcpupower-dev and libcpufreq-dev. I'll need to submit whishlist bugs to the handful of reverse dependencies of libcpufreq0 and potentially provide the same boot time limits and governor settings that cpufrequtils provides. A NEWS file is also worth adding. Following this email, a couple of patches: the first is unrelated to cpupower and cleans up a binary that is otherwise forgotten; the second is what I have so far to build cpupower as part of the linux-tools package suite (ignore the changelog entry). Last, is there any special workflow for modifications to linux-tools packaging? Is it ok to submit patches like this? Or, shall I posh directly to the git repository? Thanks -- mattia -- 2.7.0
