Hello, I'm creating a port of Intel's "powertop" application. (Yes, I'm aware that the ecarux ports collection already contains one; but I'm doing this as a learning experience). This application has enabled me to tweak my system and thus extend my laptop's battery. So, how does a port get included in opt or contrib? I imagine it gets included iff: (Benefit of using package) >= (Effort of maintaining package) If this is true, then I present an up to date Pkgfile in the hopes that you find it useful (addictive) enough to warrant inclusion. I'm currently using it to track changes in the xorg-xf86-video-intel driver. Specifically, if using Xv vs textures is the most energy efficient method to play full screen videos. Chris
