This mail should have been sent out a lot earlier, but well...
As you all surely know, the powersave daemon and this two mailing lists
are mainly dead. And I think it's finally time to declare the project as
abandoned. There's anyway not much more but spam which bothers us ;-) So
if no one objects, I will shut the lists [1] down in about a week.
So what about the future...
After stripping down the powersave daemon to a small extent, we realised
that there are still users and customers which want to do more, which like
to have fine grained control about the power management capabilities in
their systems. They mostly all belong to the server area.
What we needed should have been very simple, yet offering a lot of freedom
for tweaking the system as you like. It should be configurable through
simple text files administrators can use and should be used for servers
where specific use cases are in place. Therefore the big warning:
*** Do not use on desktop systems! ***
*** Only use if you know what you are doing! ***
Please consult the README [2] for more information.
The project is called pm-profiler [3] and is hosted on sourceforge. I do
not expect many contributions or even other distributions picking it
up. However, collaboration is _highly_ appreciated. The current code base
doesn't contain any SUSE specifics (at least only those I forgot) and is
open for contributions of any kind. If we ever require a mailinglist
depends on feedback. Anyway, please don't hesitate to contact me directly
if there are questions of any kind.
So long,
Holger
