Description Stefan Bruda 2007-02-21 16:42:27 UTC

The new pbbuttonsd-0.8.0 supports the Macbooks and also features an improved algorithm for backlight and keyboard illumination control.  For what is worth, I have hacked an ebuild that pulls this version, which is available from

http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-3761346.html#3761346

and is more precisely at

http://turing.ubishops.ca/misc/pbbuttonsd-0.8.0.ebuild

I have introduced a new use flag (macbook) with obvious meaning.  Enabling the doc flag now builds the doxygen documentation.  libsmbios is now a dependency of pbbuttonsd, which does not exist in the Portage tree but has an ebuild available in this overlay:

http://pico.is.free.fr/pommed-overlay.tar.bz2

I would argue that this will all be nice to have, and that the ebuild should make its way into the main tree.
