Bug 703264 – =mate-base/mate-applets-1.22.{0,1} do not build with recent versions of cpupower

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description David Carlos Manuelda 2019-12-18 06:32:16 UTC]

Due to changes in kernel's cpufreq API, mate-applets no longer build if current version for kernel is greater or equal to 4.1.0.

Upstream solved this issue by commit https://github.com/mate-desktop/mate-applets/commit/34d9b916fe4133457b7c2e7a00cd23f4f5b85114 (and probably others) that needs to be backported in order for mate-applets to build/work in current stable gentoo-sources (and beyond)

Reproducible: Always

I think this is related to a cpupower change in newer versions but can the fix be backported?

Someone can push the latest version of mate-applet-1.22.2 in the repo ?
It fixes this issue.

Thanks

Patch to commit 34d9b916fe4133457b7c2e7a00cd23f4f5b85114

Hello everyone,

Until the 1.22.2 version is provided in Gentoo's Portage Tree, I made this patch to update some files from the current 1.22.1 version to the commit 34d9b916fe4133457b7c2e7a00cd23f4f5b85114 as the reporter noticed.

However, this patch requires to removes the current provided patch "mate-applets-1.22.0-cpupower.patch" in the current ebuild, with the following patch:
================================================================

The compilation works.

Best regards.

Oops, I forgot to remove the "zsh: exit 1" line.
