Attachments: thermalmonitor spec file for Mageia9

thermalmonitor spec file for Mageia9

plasma-applet-thermal-monitor, which I quite like, is unfortunately not working properly because ksysguard is no longer available for the current Plasma5 version and, as such, the CPU, GPU, motherboard thermal sensors are not read anymore just some SATA HDD thermal sensors are shown, in my case. 

There is a similar project: https://github.com/olib14/thermalmonitor 
which mainly targets Plasma6, but it maintains a port to Plasma5(kf5) with ksystemstats back-end that suits Mageia 9. This package is available from KDE store(https://store.kde.org/p/2070765) too, so no specific need to be packaged. 
While it is less customizable and not as fancy as the plasma-applet-thermal-monitor, it does its job well.

This package should be removed or replaced, IMHO.
Attached is the spec file for thermalmonitor widget just in case.

Regards,
A.

Thank you for this report: "not working properly because ksysguard is no longer available for the current Plasma5 version"; "This package should be removed or replaced".
So it would seem.

Another one for you, DavidG.

Done for cauldron!

plasma-applet-thermal-monitor was removed from repo and replaced with new plasma-thermalmonitor fork.
