acpitool: MOTU, the first blood

[Emil Oppeln-Bronikowski]

 My friend pointed me once to the acpitool utility. It was at the time when I 
was fighthing with laptop hibernation. I apt-get it at once, but I've found 
that there's no package for it. So I grabed tarball and compiled it.

 One week ago CC told me that I'm so cute (notice: cuttness may vary;-) that I 
can be a member. But being a member it's just a first step to join MOTU 
forces.

 This is my first (OK, second, but building a .deb with Ruby's ,,Hello world'' 
without debhelper, just by putting it by hand does not count;-) attempt to 
build a package.

 Bad things:

 * It's not signed, so if you don't trust me, don't play with it

 * It's x86 only. My PegasosPPC is running Debian ATM. ;-)

 * It's build against Hoary. I won't move to Breezy in the middle of C++ 
madness :)

 * I did it

 I hope you'll beat the s*t out of me, and in that process, I will learn 
something from it.

 PS. how's MOTU-ML going? I would love to hang around the IRC all-day-long but 
since I have no more that few hours daily to play with Ubuntu, ML would come 
in handy. :-)
