I've just adopted this and updated it to v1.0.1. Please let me know if you run into any issues. Thanks

We should update thinkfan.service from

ExecStart=/usr/bin/thinkfan

to

ExecStart=/usr/bin/thinkfan -n

instead. This prevents thinkfan from starting as a deamon and allows us to debug it with journalctl -u thinkfan.

Also, the .install file should contain instructions on reloading the thinkpad_acpi module (or reboot if not possible).

Braces are NOT quotes, this will break when pkgdir contains spaces. srcdir is also a noop (see Creating packages on the wiki), and .install files don't have to be included in the source array.

@smldis: not sure if this is a good solution, but I switched to using /sys/devices/virtual/thermal/thermal_zone*/temp after having similar issues (thinkfan failing to read /sys/devices/platform/coretemp.0/hwmon/...)

I have the problem with thinkfan, that after resuming from suspend, thinkfan quits because a sensor has vanished. The log says: A sensor has vanished! Exiting since there's no safe way of handling this. If I restart the thinkfan systemd service, it works properly again. Any suggestions how to solve this?

I opened a bug report here if someone wanna help: https://sourceforge.net/p/thinkfan/thinkfan-bugs/17/

@smldis, thx for your report, I'll try thinkpad_hwmon asap and try to find a solution.
