Description Matt 2010-05-08 23:24:06 UTC
this version (1.12) is used at ubuntu and arch - besides that it contains useful additional information (e.g. time of Turbo Mode used, etc.) and functionality

like described on its prior (or still up-to-date) site [http://code.google.com/p/powertop/] - its repository moved to: git.moblin.org [http://git.moblin.org/cgit.cgi/powertop/]

there has been a version-bump to 1.12 in the repo on 2009-08-06 [http://git.moblin.org/cgit.cgi/powertop/commit/?id=8ea0aec659f641095ea1a485e02ffc0a1c65cafd] - unfortunately currently there's no tarball for that version available

thanks !

no interest ? :(

i cant find evidence of an actual release of 1.12.

changing a line in a source code repository != a release

right.  however, does that solve the problem?

debian seems using 1.13~pre20100125-1.
on ubuntu it's 1.11+git20091208-0ubuntu1.

thilo, if you object a live ebuild maybe a bleeding-edge snapshot would do?
mat, can you try convincing powertop upstream on a new release?

i dont object to a live ebuild - i was explaining why i changed the title from "version bump" to "git ebuild request". i wont be developing one though...

perfect.  i now added one.

@mat
use at your own risk.  do not expect full maintenance on live ebuilds.  when the live ebuilds breaks please open bugs _with patches_ only.  with that said i hope the live ebuild still helps.

no problem.  thanks for that explanation.

indeed ! :)

Thank you very much Sebastian 

as long as the live ebuild works I guess lots of people will be happy ^^

if it stops working I most likely will bother upstream to make a release ;)
