Bug 324477 – sys-power/i7z - command line and Qt GUI application to display real frequency on Core i3 / i5 / i7

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description DarkNRG 2010-06-17 14:16:52 UTC]

would be nice if someone can add this to portage
(an ebuild would probably have to tweak the Makefiles of this applications)

short description of the app:
cat /proc/cpuinfo doesn't display real clock rates for turbo-boost cpus so i7z is a nice tool if one wonders about the real current frequencies

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

Hello, The Gentoo Team would like to firstly thank you for your ebuild 
submission. We also apologize for not being able to accommodate you in a timely
manner. There are simply too many new packages.

Allow me to use this opportunity to introduce you to Gentoo Sunrise. The 
sunrise overlay[1] is a overlay for Gentoo which we allow trusted users to 
commit to and all users can have ebuilds reviewed by Gentoo devs for entry 
into the overlay. So, the sunrise team is suggesting that you look into this 
and submit your ebuild to the overlay where even *you* can commit to. =)

Thanks,
On behalf of the Gentoo Sunrise Team,
Markos.

added qt4 USE flag

Nice work, I've added a "qt4" USE flag for the GUI and replaced dobin with dosbin as it seems to work only for root.

I don't know if this is the best way (especially the sed which I needed for qmake binary) because I'm not very used to writing ebuilds.

i7z-0.26.ebuild

Cleaning the ebuild
- there is no need of ncurses USE flag
- patched Makefiles to respect user settings (filtering -O*)
