Package: sensors-applet
Severity: minor
Hi.
There are two things about the sensors-applet with nvidia GPU
temperature support.
1) I understand you motivation not to include nvidia support per default
to avoid moving the package to contrib. But as there are so many users
with nvidia GPUs out there it would perhaps be a nice solution, to
provide a 2nd package e.g. sensors-applet-with-nv or something better ;)
in contrib.
That way each user could choose the one he likes.
2) Following your documentation in /usr/share/doc it's not possible to
create the package with nv support.
The problem are two missing headerfiless (NVCtrl/NVCtrl.h and
NVCtrl/NVCtrlLib.h).
These are should be part of nvidia-settings package, but there is only
the lib included and not the header files.
One has to download the source package and copy the files manually.
The best solution would be to ask the maintainer of nvidia-settings to
put the whole NVCtrl stuff in a separate -dev package.
3) There should be somewhere a hint, that hddtemp support in
sensors-applet requires hddtemp to be run in daemon mode.
And perhaps your package should recommend hddtemp.
Thanks and best wishes,
Chris.
