Package request: slimbookbattery

[MadmanRB]

So until now I was able to use the PPA .deb package for slimbookbattery in MXlinux a handy tool to save battery on laptops:
https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2019/05/sli ... zer-ubuntu

as you can see it mostly had ubuntu in mind.

Now this was normally a non issue as the ubuntu packages did work, that is until the recent 4.0 version.
Now yes TLP does help a little, but this has far more customization and a nifty GUI to boot.
Anyhow, they do have a github, so the package may just need a separate recompile for MX:
https://github.com/slimbook/slimbookbattery

I would do it myself but I always had issues compiling and my laptop is not up for the task.

I did see this was requested before but its still not in the official MX repo

For some reason it never got added to the repo, can't remember why, its still sitting in my "For_User_Testing" folder.

Did you try to use this package from that other thread yet?

Not yet.... It doesnt get packaged I guess I will go back to kubuntu :(

As its so useful for saving battery.

Not yet....

Its kinda the point of me sharing the built package before I send it to the repo... the previous version built was buggy as heck, the current version has issues too, not something you want in an application like this.

It doesnt get packaged I guess I will go back to kubuntu :(

Did I say it won't get packaged? Its already packaged...

I'll package the latest version when I get some time.

well thats good to hear, I just was a little worried there and I always have a plan B

Okay so the one for MX19 does work at least on my machine.
I even installed MX21-RC1 to check viability and it does check out.
