PowerTOP 2.14 Ryzen patches for Debian 12

README.md

Ryzen patches for PowerTOP on Debian 12

Quick and dirty Dockerfile that will build a patched binary and source package for PowerTOP on Debian 12. They still ship 2.14 on this Debian version which does not include the necessary fixes.

You only need Docker and this command:

docker build --rm --output type=local,dest=output/ https://gist.github.com/icedream/ee7780b87706f2693c75a116759f0fbb/raw/Dockerfile

This will automatically fetch the Dockerfile, run it, and output the files to a output/ subdirectory. You can install the packages from there with dpkg -i <path-to-deb>.

If you are on Debian 13 or newer, the fixes are already included with the updated 2.15 they ship, so you won't need this.

Dockerfile

# Dockerfile to build a patched powertop package for Debian 12 with the AMD
# Ryzen fixes.
#
# Debian 12 does not have these patches yet, however Debian 13 will include
# PowerTOP 2.15 which contains these changes already.
#
# Run this directly with this command, you don't need anything else than
# Docker:
#
#   docker build --rm --output type=local,dest=output/ https://gist.github.com/icedream/ee7780b87706f2693c75a116759f0fbb/raw/Dockerfile
#
# This will give you an output/ directory with source and binary packages
# for a version suffixed +icedream.1 containing the patches.
