Docs on Ubuntu / Debian installation of latest version are outdated #99

Open philip-n opened 1 year ago

philip-n commented 1 year ago

Describe the bug The current documentation about how to install the latest version on Debian / Ubuntu is wrong.

To Reproduce

  1. Try to follow the instructions under https://github.com/vagnum08/cpupower-gui#repositories
  2. There is an error when trying to curl data from https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:erigas:cpupower-gui, since that page does not seem to exist any more

Expected behaviour Small version: The README.md does not contain outdated information (= remove the incorrect parts).

Optimal version: The README.md contains correct information on how to install the latest version as a debian package.

Setup (please complete the following information):

Additional context The SUSE Open Build service actually has three different versions of the cpupower-gui package:

However, none of these seem to have Debian or Ubuntu packages enabled.

Maybe they could simply be enabled there and linked from the docs?

Alternatively, https://github.com/vagnum08/cpupower-gui/issues/80#issuecomment-1059041178 provides a link to a zip file that contains both a .deb-package for cpu-power-gui 1.0.0 and two additional debian packages. On my system (Ubuntu 22.04.1), it was enough to install the package for cpupower-gui (other two packages were not required).

I had some issues with dependencies, specifically meson, on suse build service.

I want to make a few changes to the source and release a new version that fixes a few issues. Then it should build fine on OBS.
