Review Arch Linux AUR package for fanshim? about fanshim-python

[fryfrog]

Using linux-aarch64-raspberrypi-bin for kernel fixes psutil.cpu_freq() and also switches cpu_thermal to cpu-thermal.

:/

Honestly I know nothing about Arch packaging- I've been a Debian-based system user for more than two decades with only some brief brushes with ... the dark side 😆

Thanks for packaging it up, though!

The issue with the "plasma" module in the "plasmalights" package is one of those unfortunate cases where we name a product something, and a pip package already exists with that name. Grumble I don't imagine there will be much overlap between users of these two packages, however.

So the only thing I think I need to figure out is why psutil.cpu_freq() doesn't work, it returns None and the /sys folder is missing all the things a raspbian system has:
