Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Hayden Briese <haydenbriese@gmail.com>

* Package name    : fancon
  Version         : 0.11.2
  Upstream Author : Hayden Briese <haydenbriese@gmail.com>
* URL             : https://github.com/hbriese/fancon
* License         : Apache v2
  Programming Lang: C++
  Description     : High performance, configurable system & NVIDIA fan controller

fancon is a multi-threaded, high performance fan control daemon 
written in C++ aimed at low overhead, and configurability. 
It provides meaningful configuration through PWM, RPM or percentage
speed control. 
Support for both system (lm-sensors supported) & NVIDIA fans.

I am the developer for fancon, and developed it as an
alternative/replacement to the `fancontrol` package.
Please keep in mind that I appreciate the work the lm-sensors team has
done on `fancontrol`, and wish to improve Linux fan control in part
through use of their library `libsensors`.

fancon provides several key improvements over `fancontrol`:
- meaningful configuration - RPM & percentage speed control, not just
  PWM control as `fancontrol` provides (e.g. 5% or 600RPM vs 125PWM); 
  note. PWM control is still supported.
- simpler configuration - greater readability and ease of use (a serious
  issue for `fancontrol` in my opinion).
- support for stopping fans with gauranteed start (minimum PWM is 
  almost always lower than the starting PWM meaning you can't go 
  from 0RPM -> 400RPM, but instead from 0 -> 500 -> 400), 
  not supported by `fancontrol`.
- user doesn't require knowledge detailed knowledge of each fan as 
  they do with `fancontrol` due to 'meaningful configuration' support
  (120PWM does not result in the same RPM for even the same 
  model of fan).
- no limit on the number of configuration points, 
  where as `fancontrol` has a limit of 3.
- no limit on the number of configuration points, 
  where as `fancontrol` has a limit of 3.

I will maintain the package, which will be very frictionless - as both a
debian user, and the package's developer.
I am looking looking for a sponsor; you may contact me via email for
more information. The package has been built and is working well, just
requring finishing details such as the man doc.

Thanks,
Hayden
