Bug 417185 – sys-power/tlp - Linux Advanced Power Management

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Ryan Hill (RETIRED) 2012-05-23 02:41:10 UTC]

This thing is all kinds of awesome.  There is an ebuild available in an overlay here: https://github.com/dywisor/tlp-portage, with instructions in German here: http://de.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/TLP.  I've been using it for a couple months with no problems.  I don't want to maintain it myself, just because I don't have enough time.


TLP Linux Advanced Power Management

With each release cycle the Linux kernel and the distributions implement new improvements in terms of laptop power management. Therefore even plain standard installations can show quite good results.

Additional possibilities to save battery power are easily found on the web with the search engine of your choice. But selecting the right solutions for your particular hardware and Linux flavour from the myriad of wikis, blogs and forums is much more difficult and often requires advanced Linux knowledge on behalf of the user.

TLP brings you the benefits of advanced power management for Linux without the need to understand every technical detail.

TLP does not replace but enhance the existing power management of your Linux installation. TLP applies it's settings upon system startup and on every change of the power source.

I am willing to maintain TLP through proxy-maint.

A few packaging aspects might be questionable, mainly handling of optional dependencies and the Gentoo-specific modifications, but that can be worked out in a review.

@André that is great. 
please read
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Proxy_Maintainers

You can prepare an ebuild as good as possible and join
the IRC channel #gentoo-proxy-maint. 

You can attach the ebuild here, or even prepare a PR on github.

There we can discuss your questions.

@Brian Thank you for the ping. We did not see that.

In addition to Jonas' references, I'm interested in working on this with you. I use tlp on my laptop, but don't really have the time to maintain another package.

[Comment 7 Matthew Thode ( prometheanfire ) 2017-12-15 05:35:28 UTC]

I'd also help,

It looks like it's just the two packages though.

[Comment 8 spargeltarzan 2019-04-14 20:48:10 UTC]

I am a user and found this bug since I would like to use tlp on Gentoo. The last post in 2017 says it should be minor work to maintain this package and I would kindly like to ask if there is a developer who is willing to maintain this package. I believe there would be many users, at least me :)

sam_c told me about https://github.com/dywisor/tlp-portage via https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-8186704.html#8186704

maybe this info is helpful to others also

[Comment 10 Robert G. Siebeck 2022-10-17 09:12:49 UTC]

The package has been added as sys-power/tlp, see https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=bce5e1909085a0bc5ccc307e2d8b97884b0e8ae1

TLP 1.6.0 released two weeks ago.

[Comment 12 Sam James 2023-09-10 14:21:57 UTC]

This is already in Gentoo. Please file a new bug for bump requests.
