[gentoo-dev] Deprecating sys-power/speedfreq

[Henrik Brix Andersen]

Hi,

The sys-power/speedfreq package has not seen an upstream release in more
than a year, and it is superseded in every way by sys-power/cpufreqd
(which, in turn, is actively maintained by upstream).

There are currently 5 open bugs about sys-power/speedfreq in Gentoo
bugzilla - most of them indicating that it needs rather large changes to
be useful.

If no one objects (and claims the package + fixes the open bugs) I will
add sys-power/speedfreq to package.mask in a week from now.

Sincerely,
Brix

Once sys-power/speedfreq is masked (well, if it gets masked), the power 
management guide at 
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/power-management-guide.xml#doc_chap3 should 
probably be updated to remove sys-power/speedfreq from the text, or at a 
minimum from the recommended daemon.

Good catch - I've added Dennis to CC: on this mail :)

Well, I was following the guide the other day so it was fresh in my mind :-D 
Gosh I love the smell of new laptop!

Dennis has updated the Power Management Guide as per bug #91043 - and I
have just added sys-power/speedfreq to package.mask.

If it is superseded by cpufreqd, why not removing it from the tree and
append "move sys-power/speedfreq sys-power/cpufreqd" line in
updates/2Q-2005?

Because 'move' is for renaming packages?

we used move to overwrite zebra with quagga. see bug 75766.

In that case, quagga was a fork of zebra that used the same versioning. 
cpufreqd has nothing to do with speedfeq.

Yeah, I can attest for moves to packages that already exist doing very
strange things. And if speedfreq ever gets picked up again, things
really start to get weird.
