No, nobody is actively working on it, it's the abandoned upstream git |
| 15 |
branch that used to be master before 0.99.0's release: |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Current sys-power/upower-pm-utils is same as latest code from |
| 18 |
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/upower/log/?h=0.9 |
| 19 |
And last commit is 2013 |

I might backport some fixes from git master over at some point later, |
| 22 |
but I won't do any promises |

It's to be considered as a temporary solution for applications that need |
| 31 |
the Hibernate and Suspend functionality |
| 32 |
from UPower for non-systemd users, applications like |
| 33 |
mate-session-manager, lxsession, uevt, and so forth |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
Migrating to >=sys-power/upower-0.99.0 is the recommended path to take |
| 36 |
if at all possible. It's possible for eg. |
| 37 |
Xfce users, because Xfce in ~arch integrated sys-power/pm-utils support |
| 38 |
directly for Hibernate and Suspend |
| 39 |
Also, GNOME 3.12 requires 0.99.0 |
