Just thought I'd clarify, hprofile is a set of bash scripts to manage "profiles" of things like hardware configuration (dependent on configuration files), power usage (processor speed, LCD brightness etc.), networks (network configuration files, interfaces and services), and anything else where you need to switch configuration files around, start/stop services and run commands to put the system in a specific "profile". The tarball the ebuild intalls comes with Gentoo init scripts that can make all this highly automated, meaning the correct profile can be automatically determined and configured at bootup, or by running a single command. hprofile is in some ways similar to quickswitch, but it's more general (and probably more flexible), and in my opinion a lot easier to use and configure. I really think this should be added to portage, I am currently setting up a hprofile system and it looks promising. Just my two cents... 2.0_beta2 is now in portage |
