We are pleased to announce the release of PowerTOP v2.6.1


About PowerTOP

PowerTOP is a Linux tool to diagnose issues with power consumption and
power management. In addition to being a diagnostic tool, PowerTOP also
has an interactive mode you can use to experiment with various power
management settings, for cases where the Linux distribution has not
enabled those settings.

PowerTOP reports which components in the system are most likely to blame
for higher-than-needed power consumption, ranging from software
applications to active components in the system. Detailed screens are
available for CPU C and P states, device activity, and software activity.

For many years, PowerTOP has been used heavily by Intel, Linux
distributors, and various parts of the open source community.

Hi,

the source tarball contains 32 bit object files under
/src/tuning

Also it is not possible to compile it after running:
$ make clean

It seems csstoh.sh script is missing

regards

Jaroslav

Hi Jaroslav,

Thank you for reporting this bug.  This bug has been in PowerTOP for a
while.  I tested PowerTOP-2.5 and I was able to reproduce it as well.

Nevertheless, the bug needs to be fixed.  I'm adding this issue to our
list of bugs to fix it in a future release.

Thank you,
Alexandra.

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that
works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.
