Hello maintainers and other, The otherday I ran powertop and it did rfkill to save battery, which was particularly annoying because I had not installed rfkill(8) package. Fixing the immediate issue was relatively easy, but the ordeal made me wonder if this tool could be moved to a package that is installed by default to all systems, such as util-linux. To put money where my mouth is I have done the time consuming bits of the move. Notice that full history of the rfkill project is saved in the git branch below, with attribution to original authors and no change to copyleft statement. https://github.com/kerolasa/lelux-utiliteetit/tree/rfkill But it would not be sufficient to do just the minimal, so I took liberty to make few additional changes. These include libsmartcols output, bash-completion file, add syslog message when state changes happen, and converting unix timestamps in event output to human readable format. Perhaps the easiest is to simply to see what I have done something like: git clone https://github.com/kerolasa/lelux-utiliteetit.git rfkill-proposal cd rfkill-proposal ./autogen.sh && ./configure && make -j4 git checkout rfkill ./rfkill ./rfkill --help ./rfkill event man ./sys-utils/rfkill.8 . bash-completion/rfkill PATH="$PWD:$PATH" rfkill <tab tab> git show origin/rfkill-master..origin/rfkill What do you think, would the move and proposed updates be ok? -- Sami Kerola http://www.iki.fi/kerolasa/ -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe util-linux" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
