cpufreqd 2.0.0-pre1

cpufreqd is meant to be a replacement of the speedstep applet you can find on some other OS, it monitors battery level, AC state and running programs and adjusts the frequency of the processor according to a set of rules specified in the config file (see cpufreqd.conf (5)). Installation: 1. `cd to the directory containing the packages source code and type `./configure to configure the package for your system. If youre using `csh on an old version of System V, you might need to type `sh ./configure instead to prevent `csh from trying to execute `configure itself. Running `configure takes awhile. While running, it prints some messages telling which features it is checking for. 2. Type `make to compile the package. 3. Optionally, type `make check to run any self-tests that come with the package. 4. Type `make install to install the programs and any data files and documentation. 5. You can remove the program binaries and object files from the source code directory by typing `make clean. To also remove the files that `configure created (so you can compile the package for a different kind of computer), type `make distclean. There is also a `make maintainer-clean target, but that is intended mainly for the packages developers. If you use it, you may have to get all sorts of other programs in order to regenerate files that came with the distribution. Whats New in This Release: - implemented backward compatibility for the configuration file format (great!!) - automatically load plugins (if not configured) and rely on plugins initialization to probe the necessary stuff - the configure script now accepts --enable/disable options for plugns that need some sort of special support - ported the PMU plugin - added sensors plugin (youll need userspace libs from lm-sensors) - fixed socket creation permissions - added the ability to allow a certain group to read/write to the socket - fixed looots of bugs - beautified logs - the "cpu" directive was wrong, now named "cpu_interval" run sed -i -e s/^cpu=/cpu_interval=/ /etc/cpufreqd.conf to fix things. - reworked plugins post-configuration (might drop it actually), now plugins are correctly initialized even if their global section is missing.
