Hi kernel team, cpupowerutils (the evolution of cpufrequtils) has been included as part of the tools/ directory in the upstream linux kernel source.
do you have any plans of packaging cpupowerutils as part of linux-tools or can I go ahead and package it separately? Or even, is it worth spawning a new package off of the linux kernel source (as is done today for linux-utils) and get cpupowerutils built each time a new kernel is released? I guess the main downside of packaging it as part of linux-utils (or the linux kernel builds) is the fact that package revisions for cpupowerutils would spawn a new kernel build. Instead keeping cpupowerutils as a separate package extracted from upstream linux sources would allow the package to live its own life. So far the extra job that cpufrequtils carried was to load governors and cpu drivers for cpufreq in an init script, this should be brought over to cpupowerutils and is what historically caused most of the revisions to be created aside from new upstream versions.
