As is, we have today enough changes in our package that we would have to merge
anyhow from Debian, so, an additional build-dep its not a big deal (this means,
reason #2 is not valid anymore).
However, I'm still not convinced that we should enable this at compilation time
since it could really benefit only a minority of Ubuntu conky users.
Some data gathering should help: could somebody with the right hardware let me
know what is the difference in terms of performance (memory and cpu) of using
conky with an exec on nvidia-settings, and with the built-in ${nvidia} variable?
To have representative data please give conky a relatively short update
interval and collect your samples at a frequency at least double of that.
Another possibility we can consider is to have a conky-nvidia binary
package (or even a conky-all with all compile options enabled). However,
to go this way we would need a clear request from the Ubuntu conky user
base, which so far doesn't clearly transpire from the attention this bug
report got.
** Changed in: conky (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Incomplete
