* Package name : fancon Version : 0.10.2 Upstream Author : Hayden Briese <haydenbri...@gmail.com> * URL : https://github.com/hbriese/fancon * License : Apache v2 Programming Lang: C++ Description : High performance, configurable system & NVIDIA fan controller fancon is a multi-threaded, high performance fan control daemon written in C++ aimed at low overhead, and configurability. It provides meaningful configuration through PWM, RPM or percentage speed control. Support for both system (lm-sensors supported) & NVIDIA fans. I am the developer for fancon, and developed it as an alternative/replacement to the `fancontrol` package. Please keep in mind that I appreciate the work the lm-sensors team has done on `fancontrol`, and wish to improve Linux fan control in part through use of their library `libsensors`. fancon provides several key improvements over `fancontrol`: - meaningful configuration - RPM & percentage speed control, not just PWM control as `fancontrol` provides (e.g. 5% or 600RPM vs 125PWM); note. PWM control is still supported. - simpler configuration - greater readability and ease of use (a serious issue for `fancontrol` in my opinion). - support for stopping fans with gauranteed start (minimum PWM is almost always lower than the starting PWM meaning you can't go from 0RPM -> 400RPM, but instead from 0 -> 500 -> 400), not supported by `fancontrol`. - user doesn't require knowledge detailed knowledge of each fan as they do with `fancontrol` due to 'meaningful configuration' support (120PWM does not result in the same RPM for even the same model of fan). - no limit on the number of configuration points, where as `fancontrol` has a limit of 3. - no limit on the number of configuration points, where as `fancontrol` has a limit of 3. I will maintain the package, which will be very frictionless - as both a debian user, and the package's developer. I am looking looking for a sponsor; you may contact me via email for more information. The package has been built and is working well, just requring finishing details such as the man doc. Thanks, Hayden
