Hello,
the reason I'm asking for that is #400580. Basically newer cpufreqd
shipped with a default configuration using the "ondemand" governor which
unfortunatly is now available on every platform (powerpc is affected in
the bug).
The -2 revision of the package simply goes back using only
powersave/performance to avoid regression on upgrades
where e.g. a user that uses the default configuration may see cpufreqd
fail to start because of the config file being overridden.
The diff of the config files is included below (sorry, some reorder of
rules made the diff not very readable wrt to the actual changes).
And:
# debdiff cpufreqd_2.2.1-1_i386.deb cpufreqd_2.2.1-2_i386.deb
File lists identical (after any substitutions)
Control files: lines which differ (wdiff format)
------------------------------------------------
Version: [-2.2.1-1-] {+2.2.1-2+}
PS: maybe an urgency bump may be necessary too, the package is now 4
days old in Sid.
