Bug Description

The thermald 1.9 release was just tagged, and has potential to help quite a bit with platform performance on some newer platforms when run with kernel 5.3. It would be nice to update eoan to this new release.

> - The major change in this version is the active power limits adjustment.
This will be useful to improve performance on some newer platform. But
this will will lead to increase in CPU and other temperatures. Hence this
is important to run dptfxtract version 1.4.1 tool to get performance
sensitive thermal limits (https://github.com/intel/dptfxtract/commits/v1.4.1).
If the default configuration picked up by thermald is not optimal, user
can select other less aggressive configuration. Refer to the README here
https://github.com/intel/dptfxtract/blob/master/README.txt

Thanks Mario, I've been tracking the progress of thermald for some weeks now, so it's on my radar. I need to also roll in some packaging improvements, so I'll try and get this done some time next week.

@Srinivas, dptfxtract is a binary, so it can't be packaged in debian/ubuntu. Is there source?

It's carried in multiverse for that reason.

I'm going to update it in these few days. The helper script will have to be adapted to the new conf file directory.

Sorry, I don't have per-package upload rights to dptfxtract, you need to ask a MOTU.

Reviewing the package in your PPA I do have a few comments that should be addressed.

1) It looks like the standards version has been downgraded. If being modified at all it should be bumped up to match standards version in Eoan. This should also be mentioned in debian/changelog
2) VCS-Git and VCS-Browser URLs shouldn't be updated to upstream, packaging isn't maintained there.
3) in dptfxtract-helper I'm wondering why do you need to switch to dptfxtract-static? Is there new dependency?
4) debian/rules changes look unnecessary to me, but should be mentioned in changelog if needed.
5) I think you should be updating the packaging at https://git.launchpad.net/~canonical-hwe-team/+git/dptfxtract, no?

Oops, I think I took the bionic source package and updated from there... You're right we have a git tree and it should be used, I will post the correct version later.

Re-uploaded to ppa:anthonywong/dptfxtract.
dptfxtract-helper uses the static build of dptfxtract as that will make backport to older ubuntu releases a bit easier, as the dynamic linked version may not work well in all environments.
