Description SpanKY gentoo-dev

the kernel checks are not required to compile the cpufreqd package ... you can
have CPU_FREQ disabled and build cpufreqd just fine

Comment 1 Henrik Brix Andersen 2005-08-27 02:58:46 UTC

But the package wont work without CONFIG_CPU_FREQ...

This keeps us from compiling this for the livecd, too.

You aren't protecting the user from anything by checking the config.  For one,
it breaks embedded systems (or livecd) without sources.  It also breaks
cross-compiles.  Basically, there's no need for it as it doesn't *require* a
configured kernel, so it shouldn't be a requirement of the ebuild.
