  Thanks for the pointer.  I see that modules are stored in directory
/usr/share/eselect/modules/ with a ".eselect" extension.  Nice to have
a bunch of working examples.  I'll modify my script to module format.

  Should I email you offline when I'm finished?  One
cpu-governor-related question, is there any real difference between...

"powersave" governor versus
"userspace" mode with the lowest speed selected?

  Similarly is there any real difference between...

"performance" governor versus
"userspace" mode with the highest speed selected?

[gentoo-dev] What is the procedure for requesting a new eselect module?

2016-05-09 Thread waltdnes 
  I've cobbled together a bash script that resembles an eselect module,
to list/set cpu speeds on my netbook and notebook.  It may be useful to
a lot of other people.  The script is a bit ugly looking, but it has
done the job for me for several months.  Some may prefer to treat it as
"proof of concept" and do a re-write in python or C or whatever.  Given
its function, it seems logical to make it an eselect module.  Anyhow,
what is the procedure to follow up this idea?
