Bug#1019537: RFP: backlightctl -- Lightweight monitor backlight control utility
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
* Package name : backlightctl
Upstream Author : P "hellerbarde" Stark

Programming Lang: C
Description : Lightweight monitor backlight control utility
Really lightweight (<100 SLOC) monitor backlight control utility written in C
that directly writes to the /sys/ filesystem. The config file is read from
/etc/backlightctl.conf. It must contain exactly 2 lines. The first one points
to the file controlling the brightness. The second line points to the file
containing the maximal brightness.
Upstream ships no formal release yet; it's been sitting in a github git repo
since 2012. There's a cmake buildsystem supplied. No upstream manpage yet.
I like it since it's pretty small and does _just_ what's needed; nothing more.
Bye,
Joost
