Arch Linux

Done

Please update PKGBUILD to install binaries to /usr/bin instead of /usr/sbin in line with recent changes: https://www.archlinux.org/news/binaries-move-to-usrbin-requiring-update-intervention/

I added a dependency on "autoconf" package.

Could you please add core/autoconf as dependency? It's needed for compiling the cpufreqd package.

Since I don't have enough time and don't really use the package any more, I'm dissowning the package. I hope someone better suited can step up.

Hmr, is this package really OOD?
Upstream URL seem to suggest the current version *is* 2.4.2

That patch, plus another one addressing a buffer overflow, can be found at:

Oh, this is an old bug; the developer sent me a patch 4 years ago that works for the most part.... unfortunately I never responded and it kind of bitrotted.

Does this work for anyone on 3.5.x kernels? Just recently updated, and it fails in two places:
. unable to read battery information (sysfs patch needs to be updated)
. unable to set frequency scaling/governor
Is this project still maintained, or at least accepting patches ?

Updated to use cpupower. Thank you for the patches.

This package is broken since the cpufrequtils has been removed from the extra repository [1] because it died upstream and has been replaced by cpupower.
cpufreqd cannot be used anymore. Please switch to cpupower or drop the package.

Thanks for the tip orbsvicis!

It did work for me

Here is my PKGBUILD: http://pastebin.com/1w5sjg7c

And the configure.in patch: http://pastebin.com/j0aDnntd

As cpufrequtils does not seens to be in arch reppositories anymore this is the only way to build cpufreqd, right?

Then also might need to run "autoreconf -i" to regenerate the "configure" script

A patch like http://hpaste.org/raw/72005 (untested) against configure.in should do the trick

Can you build this package against cpupower instead of cpufrequtils? Aside from whitespace changes, the two packages provide identical headers (/usr/include/cpufreq.h) and should thus be 100% compatible.

The reason is that cpupower provides extended functionality compared to cpufrequtils.

I have too much typos with this PKGBUILD :). It should be fixed now.

Oh... I see now.. it's actually in a folder that is not at all existent.
@billy: Your PKGBUILD puts it to /user ... should be /usr! Please fix!

@INUYASHA: Because the unit file is in /lib/systemd/system and should be in /usr/lib/systemd/system
A "pacman -Ql cpufreqd" would have told you that, btw ;) My earlier comment will also tell you where the default location for unit files is now and once billy has updated the PKGBUILD, things will be back to normal again.

not found /user/lib/systemd/system/acpid.service

$ -> sudo systemctl enable cpufreqd.service
Failed to issue method call: No such file or directory

$ -> ls /user/lib/systemd/system/c*
/user/lib/systemd/system/cpufreqd.service

why?

The unit file should be installed to /usr/lib/systemd/system
This is the default directory for unit files now.

Fixed, I don't know how that came in there.

This should install 'cpufreqd.service' instead of 'systemd.service'.

Why are this package flagged out of date? AFAIK the website gives version 2.4.2 as the latest. If it's flagged by error it should probably be unflagged.
