Hello,
I'd like to submit the following patch for inclusion. There are a few
caveats
1. It has to be run as root.
2. There is no default configuration since it is hardware-dependant, and
it will not run without one.
3. It requires to load a kernel module with a specific option, namely:
modprobe thinkpad_acpi fan_control=1
I guess we cannot handle any of these requirements at the package
definition level, anyway.
As icing on the cake, one could define a service to load it at boot (the
tarball contains scripts for at least 4 init systems), but my service-fu
is feeble.
Regards,
