35 Yes, GNOME 3.12 is the first desktop in Portage that is forcing
36 >=sys-power/upower-0.99.0, therefore
37 GNOME 3.12 can't be installed together with sys-power/upower-pm-utils
38
39 It's expected that more and more packages will start requiring
40 >=sys-power/upower-0.99.0, so this
41 sys-power/upower-pm-utils, is to be considered as a temporary solution,
42 specially considering it has
43 no upstream anymore
44
45 So, if package you need sys-power/upower-pm-utils for, doesn't migrate
46 it's code like Xfce did and
47 directly use sys-power/pm-utils, so that it allows 0.99.0 installation,
48 the package is bound to die
49
50 That's the whole point of this requirement for manual intervention of
51 user, he needs to make an
52 informed decision what route he wants to go -- like extreme route, such
53 as switching desktops from
54 LXDE to Xfce, and such
55
56 (This reply is not directly aimed at you, but to whole thread, just
57 trying to raise public awareness,
58 because maybe it will get someone to actually contribute some code to
59 improve the situation)
