Hello everyone!
After upgrading to latest debian, I’ve discovered that cpufreqd was removed from stable.
I was using it in my PC to adjust the CPU power depending of the load of the system, and automatically switch profiles. I’ve seen cpupower as a replacement, which does not allow to automatically switch profile depending of user defined rules.
Do you know any alternative? (The package is working fine for now, but I fear the day the application will not be compatible with a kernel update, and I want to prevent this before).
Thanks !
My concern is more about the maintability.
Removing the package implies no more update, and any further update in the system can break (because there is a change in the headers somewhere, or else).
I’m able to rebuild the package from source, yes, but being able to patch it myself is a different story. That’s why I was looking for any known alternatives.
Each utility is unique, and it’s unlikely you’d be happy with a replacement that doesn’t implement all the features you need. For now, just use the package you built, and make sure it rebuilts with each kernel update, and you should be good.
