And actually someone else did it also as a shell script, with a similar name as well: https://github.com/mkouhei/scripts/blob/master/kbdlight.sh However, the point is that somebody put effort on doing this is a small C application and somebody thought it was also useful. I don't see why it should not be included in Debian, maybe it'll be useful for even more people. signature.asc Description: Digital signature

First of all, this application is so simple, it can easily be written as a architecture independent shell script. Furthermore, the package name is very generic, it would be nice if it worked for other brands of laptops as well. My Samsung for example has the same interface to change the backlight, except the sysfs file is called /sys/class/leds/samsung::kbd_backlight instead of smc::kbd_backlight. And I think the FTP masters will ask you if it wouldn't be possible to have the functionality merged with an existing Debian package that has to do with backlight or ACPI. -- Met vriendelijke groet / with kind regards, Guus Sliepen signature.asc Description: Digital signature
