That's more or less what they already did, they forced eg. |
| 13 |
xfce4-power-manager upstream |
| 14 |
to move the deleted pm-utils code from upower directly to the power |
| 15 |
manager (application) |
| 16 |
itself, likewise for xfce4-session |
| 17 |
Which means applications will now need to duplicate the pm-utils related |
| 18 |
code per application |
| 19 |
basis |
| 20 |
So I expect upower to be more or less dead for everything but systemd |
| 21 |
users, except for |
| 22 |
those upstreams that will actually follow the Xfce path and do the |
| 23 |
duplication |
| 24 |
Yet, still, small portition of the code is still 'generic', so |
| 25 |
xfce4-power-manager will still need |
| 26 |
both, upower, even 0.99, and then pm-utils, depending on the version, |
| 27 |
codepath is selected |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
This was sort of expected, since pm-utils has been abandoned for ~5 |
| 30 |
years now at upstream, |
| 31 |
so nobody is maintaining non-systemd related power management tools |
| 32 |
anymore, and |
| 33 |
falling back to eg. manual laptop-mode-tools, acpid, etc. usage will be |
| 34 |
necessary again, |
| 35 |
it's like going back to 90s for non-systemd users :P |
