Bugzilla Bug 121120

There is nice kde thinkpad battery monitor based on tp_smapi which is in the
portage already.
Here is a latest ebuilds for it:
https://lepetitfou.dyndns.org/svn/portage-overlay-lefou/trunk/app-laptop/kthinkbat/

Created an attachment (id=80775) [edit]
ebuild for the latest version of KThinkBat.

I'm the author of KThinkBat and be willing to maintain any new version of this
ebuild. 

On some (maybe older) KDE installations will the assert.h not included through
the kde libraries. This gives a compile error which is resolved in the next -r1
version of the ebuild.

Created an attachment (id=80776) [edit]
app-laptop/kthinkbat-0.1.5-r1.ebuild

This ebuild assumes the patch (see next attachment) in files directory.

Created an attachment (id=80777) [edit]
kthinkbat-0.1.5-assert-patch

This patch will be needed for app-laptop/kthinkbat-0.1.5-r1 to solve a compile
error with missing <assert.h> include.

This problem is fixed upstream. Patching will not be necessary in next version.

app-laptop/kthinkbat-0.1.6.ebuild

New version of KThinkBat (0.1.6) is available. 

It works stable and is used by many people outside of gentoo, too. Please
include it to the main portage tree.

*** Bug 141488 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

One thing for clarification:
Although KThinkBat can optionally use app-laptop/tp_smapi on IBM Laptops, it
doesn't need it. KThinkBat works with any ACPI Laptop, independent of the
brand.

ebuild for version 0.1.9 can be found here:
https://lepetitfou.dyndns.org/wiki/view/Werkstatt/KThinkBat#Download

Latest version of KThinkBat is 0.2.2. An ebuild can be (as always) found here:
https://lepetitfou.dyndns.org/svn/portage-overlay-lefou/trunk/app-laptop/kthinkbat/kthinkbat-0.2.2.ebuild

https://lepetitfou.dyndns.org/svn/gentoo/lefous_portage_overlay/app-laptop/kthinkbat/kthinkbat-0.2.6.ebuild

Bumping this. KThinkBat works stable on all installations I know. An ebuild is
available, too. It is a nice laptop battery monitor for any ACPI laptop and
there is no comparable other software in the tree.

Maybe I'll find a proxy maintainer?

ebuild for the latest stable version of kthinkbat

works for me on an ibm/lenovo x60s, apart from the fact that the current
consumption/remaining time is only shown with panel size "normal" (or bigger).

This is not a bug but a feature. 

You can configure the layout of KThinkBat in it's preferences dialog. If you
panel is to small you can either make the battery gauge smaller or deselect
"Info Field below of Battery Gauge" or select a smaller font for the info field
or a combination of these settings, as you prefer.

Btw, actual ebuild can be found in 'lefous_portage_overlay'.

Thanks for clarifying.
This works for the small panel size. With a "tiny" panel the info text does not
fit even the smallest available height (10/2).

Anyway - 0.2.8 also works for me. (:

Well.. there is an option for the font size too. I'm just too tired.

Looks good.  Added to the tree.
