AcpiTool is (yet another) Linux ACPI client. It's a small command-line application, intended to be a replacement for the apm tool. The primary target audience are laptop users, since these people are most interested in stuff like battery status, thermal status and the ability to put their precious laptop to sleep. Most of this does not apply to desktop systems. The program simply accesses the /proc/acpi or /sysfs entries to get/set acpi values. Hence, you need a computer running a Linux kernel from the 2.4.x or 2.6.x series with acpi enabled, to use this program.
Created attachment 45411 [details] First ebuild for this version. (My first ebuild! Woo woo.) Incidentally I think this fixes bug 72178.
This is not a new package - app-laptop/acpitool-0.2.5 is already in portage, meaning this is just a request for a version bump. When requesting a version bump (or fixing a bug in an ebuild) please attach a unified diff (diff -up) of the ebuild instead of the complete ebuild.
Created attachment 45421 [details, diff] Version bump for acpitool Ah, sorry... live and learn. Okay, I've submitted a diff, but I'm not sure if the headers are meant to look like that. Apologies if I did something wrong there.
The headers (and the rest of your diff) looks fine to me. Thank you for submitting this. sekretarz, will you take care of the bump?
Fixed in CVS, thanks.
the package (0.2.6) doesn't seem to be available on any mirrors, and the home site (freeunix.dyndns.org:8088) seems to be always down.. is this normal?
No, but i've placed all files on mirrors, so you shouldn't have any problems now.
