Do you mean cpucontrol in the base system has a bug? I found reference to this in the code at the github download link pointing at a patchless comment-type bugzilla entry here: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D192487 Do you feel like trying to come up with a patchset or modification to the existing usr.sbin/cpucontrol (which appears to be the basis of the code in this github repository)? We could start using the Phabricator review system to try and get your work into a form that would be accepted into the base system. sean --ZH9gQCk6l7BDgYopaVxCihxlxxkRboANB-- --nh4sZmjakbmu9BQdB3HUjNLCrov85DWwn Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQGTBAEBCgB9FiEE6MTp+IA1BOHj9Lo0veT1/om1/LYFAlp/fNdfFIAAAAAALgAo aXNzdWVyLWZwckBub3RhdGlvbnMub3BlbnBncC5maWZ0aGhvcnNlbWFuLm5ldEU4 QzRFOUY4ODAzNTA0RTFFM0Y0QkEzNEJERTRGNUZFODlCNUZDQjYACgkQveT1/om1 /LaSGQgAxvWgnwr3CHPlFeV037yRlgc8nT1LMRZBGRB+Shet4PblzNAEk0Kf7GEV OwXbwiO4JBINzWJSZR2eFhtnzH/TNInPk4A7rZ+mb5DqKSp9UWW/YsmQXq1sF4c2 n34jF9cKs6TVnbEpMkHOtOYbrGAA1mxOSyQQTRG5WSwJbzeOfqYdc17rOlwdyT/u 2iKOOXITiRM3j/OIdddMpwHOOM3RxTiJHn5GnWwBgSJFRsm4ByFCBWXsT8ersupr jCKlos5lFhsVyv1CosO76fsQcMOHIxvjWfn82ExkHa007eCywojBeoNwOs0Y5JeM eu7TUx3XqCBbsXvN6ngCg84UzOcumQ== =X14b -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nh4sZmjakbmu9BQdB3HUjNLCrov85DWwn--
