PSA: The System76 ACPI drivers are now included in the kernel (>=5.16). This is now obsolete. There have been recent improvements with fan curves since 5.17.4.

@MacGyver: Thanks, that looks about right.

Thanks for the quick fix, but I think your regex missed a replace and doesn't build for all 4.x kernels -- I think the correct one here is BUILD_EXCLUSIVE_KERNEL="^(5\.[0-9]\..*|5\.1[0-5]\..*|[3-4]\..*)"

@thurstylark: Good point, thanks for the tip!

Conflicting on core/linux is a poor solution that will cause problems for users who wish to run more than one kernel.

Instead, I would recommend that you configure dkms to only build for kernels of specific version numbers, as was done for virtualbox-guest-dkms here: https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-community/blob/fd6fee6a308bf2d2593d7df7b1ad86add27d5499/trunk/virtualbox-guest-dkms.conf#L22

looks like the latest change to the PKGBUILD has a regression where the bash variables had their braces removed. were the clarifications to the bash variables rolled back to some earlier commit?

i'm afraid to install this package since it appears the quality of the PKGBUILD went back in time.

What happened?

I realized this package is leaving residuals under /usr/lib/modules/<kernel version>/updates/dkms/system76_acpi.ko.xz no idea why only this dkms module does this, but this creates a lot of junk over time :(

@jameth This package (and others in the system76 family) generally track the latest tagged release in the current release branch from the Github repos. For some packages, there are also *-git versions that track the latest commit. Those should be more current, but may be less stable.

I would recommend asking the project maintainers to tag a new release. If for some reason that is not possible, I would consider reviewing a patch that incorporates the changes.

@electrickite: So the version on Github is still 1.2, but has recently had an addition adding charge control threshold control.

This new addition is not included in the AUR package system76-acpi-dkms yet.

Is there any way this package can get updated to include those changes, or do we have to wait for an official new release to be flagged in order to get those changes incorperated into this AUR package?

@electrickite: Any particular reason why you left out 99-system76-acpi-dkms.hwdb?
