* Package name : auto-cpufreq Version : 2.0.0 Upstream Contact: Adnan Hodzic <adnan@hodzic.org> * URL : https://github.com/AdnanHodzic/auto-cpufreq * License : LGPL-3 Programming Lang: Python Description : Automatic CPU speed & power optimizer Automatic CPU speed & power optimizer for, Linux based on active monitoring of a laptop's battery state, CPU usage, CPU temperature and system load. Ultimately allowing you to improve battery life without making any compromises. Features: * Monitoring * Basic system information * CPU frequency (system total & per core) * CPU usage (system total & per core) * CPU temperature (total average & per core) * Battery state * System load * CPU frequency scaling, governor and turbo boost management based on * Battery state * CPU usage (total & per core) * CPU temperature in combination with CPU utilization/load (prevent overheating) * System load * Automatic CPU & power optimization (temporary and persistent) ---- I found this package through this post on Debian Planet: https://foolcontrol.org/?p=4603 This is a tool similar to already existing tools in Debian, specifically TLP. According to the auto-cpufreq author though: So I'm not exactly clear on what the overlap between the two is, but I do feel there's some room in this space for another option. TLP is rather "heavy" in terms of the number of things it does, it's a rather big pill to swallow, with all sorts of pitfalls... I like the idea of having a simple, one-task-focused tool. I do not currently have the cycles to evaluate this any further, but would love to collaborate on further research when I have time. Otherwise, if anyone is interested in pursuing this any further, please go right ahead (but keep this bug in CC!).
Hi everyone, First of all thank you for creating this RFP Antoine! I might be biased when I say this, but I think auto-cpufreq definitely deserves and should be available in Debian repos. There's even a long standing auto-cpufreq issue (feature request) to create a Debian package for it: https://github.com/AdnanHodzic/auto-cpufreq/issues/157 Although I used to be Debian package maintainer myself in past, and since I naively thought auto-cpufreq future was set with having it available as part of a Snap Store/packages (which I even praised in my KubeCon talk: https://youtu.be/issubK49f6E?si=k6sXJCIFxUIYnbLh&t=378). After auto-cpufreq v2.0 release with introduction of GUI due to its confinement limitations, this feature won't be possible with Snap package and it could lead to its deprecation in future: https://github.com/AdnanHodzic/auto-cpufreq/#snap-store Either way, it would be great if someone had time to have auto-cpufreq packaged for Debian. I'm at your disposal if you have any questions in this process. Otherwise, if I have time in the future I might even pick this up myself :) Regards, Adnan
