What?
=====
This is a fork of trayfreq, intended to work on modern Linux systems.
The original trayfreq wasn't compatible with Archlinux, due to the migration away from a `/proc/acpi` directory.
I forked the project and got it working again.
If you're using ArchLinux, just jump over to the [AUR page for this software](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/trayfreq-archlinux) and install it that way.
Runtime Dependencies
--------------------
* gtk3
* sudo
Building
========
Due to KISS, I don't tend to use ./configure scripts for relatively small programs.
Instead, it's up to the user to check they have the right libraries.
The sort of parameters you might pass to a ./configure can instead be passed to make.
Here's a list:
* BINDIR to override default binary directory (`/usr/bin`) for paramano and paramano-set
* PREFIX to prefix all paths with something
* LOCALE_DIR to override default of `/usr/share/locale`
* SUDO to override default sudo program `/usr/bin/sudo`
* MAKE to override default make program `make`
* CC to override default compiler `gcc`
* PARAMANO_SET to override default paramano-set program of `PREFIX/BINDIR/paramano-set`
* DESTDIR (only for `make install` -- see below)
If you'd like a huge amount of debug information on the tty every time you run paramano or paramano-set, then set DEBUG to something, eg:
make all DEBUG=yeah
Extreme example for nutty system with binaries at `/exec` and sudo `/exec/sodu`:
make all BINDIR=/exec SUDO=/exec/sodu
Installation
============
A plain `make install` should work if you're installing straight to `/`, i.e. you're not building a package or anything.
If you *are* building a package or installing to a special dir, then you might want something like this:
make install DESTDIR=/path/to/package/temp/dir
This will prefix **all** paths with `/path/to/package/temp/dir` while installing.
Autostarting
------------
`make install` will copy a .desktop file to /etc/xdg/autostart, meaning that all xdg-compliant window managers should start it automatically when Bob logs in.
Bob's WM starts these programs as root, thus he is fully able to change the governor.
Alice uses a non-xdg-compliant WM (e.g. dwm) so paramano is run as the user `alice`.
She doesn't have permission to write to the files under `/sys/` so paramano can't change the governor.
Alice needs to make paramano run `paramano-set` through sudo.
This can be done in the configuration file.
Then, she also needs to give herself passwordless permission to run `paramano-set` through sudo:
# ... (/etc/sudoers
alice ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/paramano-set
# ...
Simple.
