acpica-unix 20160108-2 source package in Ubuntu
Changelog
acpica-unix (20160108-2) unstable; urgency=medium * Closes: #757791 -- use proper Vcs-* lines in the control file. * Closes: #731761 -- add changelog info on turbostat: unfortunately, during the transition to using only the ACPICA upstream source tree, I forgot to mention that turbostat was not part of that source but is in the Linux kernel source instead; if one wishes to use turbostat, it can now be found in the collectd-core package instead. Further, the acpidump command now provided is different -- there are two sources from the same upstream contributor, one in the kernel and one in the ACPICA tree. In theory, these are (or have) converged to a single source and provide identical functionality. If there are differences, it is likely an upstream. My apologies for not mentioning this sooner as part of the transition; hopefully this clarifies things. * Closes: #679360 -- incorrect examples in the acpidump man page are no longer pertinent since all of the man pages have since been updated, and pointers provided to the upstream documentation that contains all of the details needed. * Closes: #738527 -- acpidump has long since been replaced so this bug should no longer be present; testing on some x86 systems show it working just fine. * Closes: #419687 -- acpidump seems to report write errors okay * Closes: #805990 -- dpkg-buildpackage -A seems to work fine, bug is not reproducible * Closes: #407708 -- not a bug, this is expected iasl behavior, but iasl is also much smarter about reporting what the user needs to do. And, the spec has changed to make it easier for iasl to work properly. -- ahs3 <email address hidden> Sat, 30 Jan 2016 15:57:59 -0700

Binary packages built by this source
- acpica-tools: ACPICA tools for the development and debug of ACPI tables
The ACPI Component Architecture (ACPICA) project provides an OS-independent
reference implementation of the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface
Specification (ACPI). ACPICA code contains those portions of ACPI meant to
be directly integrated into the host OS as a kernel-resident subsystem, and
a small set of tools to assist in developing and debugging ACPI tables.
.
This package contains only the user-space tools needed for ACPI table
development, not the kernel implementation of ACPI. The following commands
are installed:
-- iasl: compiles ASL (ACPI Source Language) into AML (ACPI Machine
Language), suitable for inclusion as a DSDT in system firmware.
It also can disassemble AML, for debugging purposes.
-- acpibin: performs basic operations on binary AML files (e.g.,
comparison, data extraction)
-- acpidump: write out the current contents of ACPI tables
-- acpiexec: simulate AML execution in order to debug method definitions
-- acpihelp: display help messages describing ASL keywords and op-codes
-- acpinames: display complete ACPI name space from input AML
-- acpisrc: manipulate the ACPICA source tree and format source files
for specific environments
-- acpixtract: extract binary ACPI tables from acpidump output (see
also the pmtools package)
