Bug 38868 – speedfreq ebuild update

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Jon Hood (RETIRED) 2004-01-20 19:19:54 UTC]

speedfreq 0.7.2 is available.  I tried bumping the ebuild, but I get the following when trying to start the init.d script:
# /etc/init.d/speedfreq start
 * Starting speedfreq...
Usage: /usr/sbin/speedfreqd [-fqsuDPV] [-p policy]
        -p P    set policy to P
        -u      OK for users to set policy
        -D      print debug messages (implies -F)
        -F      stay in foreground (don't become daemon)
        -P file create a pid file
        -V      version information

Available policies:
        powersave       maximise power savings
        performance     maximise performance
        dynamic         adjust speed according to CPU load (default)
        NNN             set CPU to a fixed speed of NNN MHz
                                                                          [ !! ]

bumped speedfreq.rc to speedfreq-0.7.2.rc
changed .rc to use start-stop-daemon
made .rc compatible with 0.7.2

bumped 0.5 ebuild to 0.7.2 and made it use new .rc.

please see attached.

[Comment 4 Justin Whitney 2004-02-20 17:28:31 UTC]

dev's please correct my lame reference in the .ebuild to speedfreq-0.7.2.rc to whatever is the norm for these situations....

thanks.

Hi all...


I bumped to the new version and did a minor change to the .rc to make it run with 0.7.2.

I did not change the init to start-stop-daemon.
Vapier: if you want to do that then feel free to do so. Otherwise close this bug.

I'll leave it all up to you on whether or not to close the bug; I now use cpudyn, so I don't have speedfreq even installed anymore...

[Comment 7 SpanKY 2004-02-25 17:01:32 UTC]

any reason you added /var/run/speedfreq.pid to the init script ?

the program is coded to use that by default

New ebuild, that also builds python module

I modified the 0.7.2 ebuild to install the python module. The man pages are
merged now, too.

[Comment 9 SpanKY 2004-03-28 00:36:12 UTC]

please try 0.7.2-r1

[Comment 10 Jon Hood (RETIRED) 2004-06-19 13:31:01 UTC]

Yes, the current version in portage works great, thanks Spanky!
