The freefall interface is pretty cool and easy, because the decision is done in hardware and the userspace only has to actually trigger parking the heads. That's also supported by hdapsd (and if not properly, I, with my upstream hat on, want patches as I do not own any HP/Dell hardware). hdapsd also supports other motion sensors, that only report motion and no binary decision. That said, I would favour only having one complete implementation in the archive (and wonder why noone told me about the in-kernel tool for 7 years), but would not oppose someone else maintaining the version built from src:linux ;) Greets Evgeni -- Bruce Schneier can read and understand Perl programs. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
