NO. This is not about cpupower. TLP recommends linux-tools on Ubuntu (and linux-cpupower on Debian) for the x86_energy_perf_policy binary, which is needed for some reporting functions (look in tlp-stat and tlp- functions). This is stated quite clearly in the comments at the top of the debian/rules file (line 6 !!).
I don't know how things are usually done in Ubuntu, but reporting a (so- called) bug and uploading a (misguided) patched version six minutes later without even notifying the package maintainer or asking for his/her advice (let alone asking for permission...) is clearly not appropriate. I'll be frank, I'm quite upset with the Ubuntu community these days, between the dozens of reports about bugs already fixed long ago, the "bug" wishing for a KDE GUI (a simple Google search would be sufficient to explain the state of things about TLP ans GUIs), and now this. Next time such a thing happen, I'll definitely stop caring about Ubuntu, Launchpad bugs or the merging/syncing state of the package, and focus exclusively on Debian, letting you (you the Ubuntu community as a whole, not you Adam Conrad) manage it on your own. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1783455 Title: tlp shouldn't recommend linux-tools To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tlp/+bug/1783455/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
