Description Silvio 2021-11-24 06:52:07 UTC

There is a nice project 
https://asus-linux.org/
and it would be wonderful that it will be in Portage.
Overlay zGentoo made a good job to port in Gentoo but it uses only "systemd" that is not the standard for Gentoo (openrc).

Hey there,

I'm one of the maintainers of https://gitlab.com/asus-linux/asusctl (https://asus-linux.org/). We already have an ebuild in my non-public overlay (zGentoo: https://lab.retarded.farm/zappel/zGentoo/-/tree/master/sys-power/asusctl).

If someone guides me, I'm willing to maintain the upstream ebuild, if wanted, as well. Just get in touch with me.


Cheers.

It would be very nice to have asusctl under Gentoo with OpenRC.
Unfortunately I do not have enough skills to help...

Asusctl istself wasn't designed to work with any init-system other then systemd. So from my personal PoV this won't change, therefore I'm not supporting an OpenRC version right now. (tbh. I don't own a single machine with OpenRC so I've a massive lack of testing as well)

If someone would test against OpenRC and provide the needed patches/services including tests I would adopt it.
