Dear Debian Kernel Team, cpufrequtils is going to be removed from Debian, and linux-cpupower is a good replacement, see the comment in bug [#877016]. [#877016]: <https://bugs.debian.org/877016#54> The only missing piece in linux-cpupower seems to be a systemd service unit and a configuration file in /etc/default/ . I took a look at how this is done in the [Arch Linux package] [Arch Linux package]: <https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/linux-tools> It seems to me that three files (released under "GPL-2.0-or-later" terms) can be used with trivial modifications. The attached files are working fine on my system, where I purged cpufrequtils and installed linux-cpupower and then I issued the following commands: # cp cpupower.default /etc/default/cpupower # chown root:root /etc/default/cpupower # chmod 644 /etc/default/cpupower # cp cpupower.systemd /usr/libexec/cpupower # chown root:root /usr/libexec/cpupower # chmod 755 /usr/libexec/cpupower # cp cpupower.service /usr/lib/systemd/system/ # chown root:root /usr/lib/systemd/system/cpupower.service # chmod 644 /usr/lib/systemd/system/cpupower.service # systemctl daemon-reload # systemctl enable cpupower.service The systemd service runs at boot and sets everything needed with cpupower (as configured in /etc/default/cpupower ). Is there room for improvement? Yes, I think there is. For instance, the script /usr/libexec/cpupower could be translated to POSIX shell, getting rid of its bashisms. However, even with room for improvement, I think it's better than nothing. I believe it's time to fill this gap for good. Please accept the "patch" and incorporate the files (or enhanced versions of them) into linux-cpupower. Thanks for your time and dedication!
