• 9999 is out of sync
• probably broken since configuration file handling has changed upstream
• ETA of fixed ebuild (tlp-9999-r3): 2020-01-27
• for the time being, stick to the release version, tlp-1.2.2-r1

---

tlp-9999-r2 expects a 1.2.x-ish upstream source tree.
Versions <= 1.2.x build against two git repos, TLP and tlp-gentoo-additions.
Versions >= 1.3.x (which is currently in beta) will no longer need the extra tlp-gentoo-additions repo.
I have proposed the necessary changes upstream earlier this week and they already got merged, writing the updated ebuild remains to be done.

@joakim-tjernlund, all,

app-laptop/tlp-9999-r3, app-laptop/tlp-1.3.0_beta4 added to the repo, commit 8f790f5:

Prepare for the next release:

• TODO: README

• configuration file handling has changed:

  • baseline provided by package in /usr/share/tlp/defaults.conf
  • drop-in conf snippets read from /etc/tlp.d/*.conf
  • overrides read from /etc/tlp.conf

  Users should review their /etc/tlp.conf after upgrading.
  Default values should no longer be set in that file,
  only deviations thereof.

  Gentoo-specific customizations such as disabling TLP by default
  now reside in /etc/tlp.d/01-gentoo.conf.
  To enable TLP, set 'TLP_ENABLE=1' in /etc/tlp.conf
  (or any file in /etc/tlp.d/ that gets read after 01-gentoo.conf,
  e.g. 05-enable.conf).

• tlp_suggests USE flag renamed to tlp-suggests,
  underscore is reserved as reported by pkgcheck

• x86_energy_perf_policy is an optional dep now,
  not necessarily needed on kernel versions >= 5.2

Optional dependencies are pulled in by default now (sill controllable via the tlp-suggests USE flag).

Builds and installs fine in LXC and tlp-stat output looks OK, but haven't tested on real hardware yet.

If anybody wants to give it a spin, make sure to review your /etc/tlp.conf after installing and report back success/failure here.

You may also contribute to the beta test, linrunner/TLP#449. Please do not report Gentoo-related issues there - if unsure, post them here.

done - README updated

[joakim-tjernlund]

Noticed the /etc/tlp.d/01-gentoo.conf: TLP_ENABLE=0

I find it odd that the default is disabled here. One has to do 3 things to get TLP going:
emerge tlp, then edit/add a TLP_ENABLE=1 conf snippet, run the service
IMHO a user who installs and runs the service find it odd that he in addition has to edit
a config file too.

Moved to a separate issue #27 as that is not specifically related to the 1.3 release.
