kernel-Power Stable v49 in Extras-Devel


Last version v49 which is now in Extras-Devel has new frequency scheme, so everyone who has custom profile (or modified /etc/default/kernel-power) MUST modify them according to new frequencies, i.e to remove 700 and to change 750 to 720. See more on http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php…49#post1117649
Version v49 is in Extras-Devel repository, but maemo package interface still does not see it. So I cannot promote kernel-power into Extras-Testing! See bug: https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12284
