acpi_call for linux-zen?

Hey, I just found out the linux-zen is in the repos, and I already tried it out, works great, super happy, but there is no acpi_call package for it. tp_smapi works fine, but acpi_call just says not found, which makes it pretty much unusable on my thinkpad, since I rely on battery thresholds quite a lot.

If there's any TU which would like to pick this up, I would be delighted.

Thanks.

EDIT: Of course I posted it into the wrong forum, sorry.

Re: acpi_call for linux-zen?

There's a acpi_call-dkms in the AUR, which should rebuild the module every time the kernel is updated.  You will need to set up DKMS to make it automatic (IIRC, it's just enabling a systemd service and maybe editing a config file).  Unfortunately, it will fail on the first boot of a new kernel, because that's when DKMS checks for a new kernel and starts the build.  You need to manually start whatever depends on the module (which should work fine after the build), or simply reboot once.
