It should be added as a runtime dependency for kinfocenter: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/kinfocenter/blob/rawhide/f/kinfocenter.spec

Unfortunately lm_sensors pulls in Perl, so it will only be added to Fedora KDE unless someone does the work to split the Perl parts in a subpackage for lm_sensors (if possible).

Looks like we have two scripts that use Perl:

• sensors-conf-convert: That's probably not needed 99% of the time now. Script says:

# Convert a sensors.conf file from the old (Linux 2.4, lm-sensors 2)
# symbol names to the new (Linux 2.6 or 3, lm-sensors 3) symbol names.

• sensors-detect: Looks like it's needed to find sensors when they are not auto loaded yet. Not sure how useful that is today: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Lm_sensors

On certain desktop motherboards sensors-detect helped me identify the kernel modules needed to read on-board temperature/voltage sensors and fan speeds such as it87, nct6683 and nct6775

Then we would need someone to rewrite it in a language that is not Perl (Python would work) before we could include it.

Isn't having most of the functionality better than having none of it? Can't we add lm-sensors to Kinoite and put sensors-detect in the backlog?

To be able to do that we will have to split the Perl script in a sub package as it's currently in the main package: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/rpminfo?rpmID=41336337
