Jackson/Tim are really talking about logind here, which we've been
(exclusively) using since Saucy. systemd-shim has made the suspend
etc. functionality work with upstart. So none of this is new, and yes,
we indeed want projects to move away from upower for suspend stuff, as
logind's is much more reliable in terms of hooking into the
suspend/resume cycle (screen savers, NM, etc. -- they can now
synchronously block the operation instead of hoping to be "fast
enough").

Considering we haven't migrated to systemd yet, it would seem that would
leave us without suspend support. Is there a plan to distro patch that
back into upower? Can the suspend be used via one of the shims?

Just to add here, as far as canonical components go, powerd, indicator-power 
and python-dbusmock need porting.

upower 0.99

2014-06-16 Thread Jackson Doak
Upower 0.99 is now required by gnome 3.12. As a result, we are trying to
have the transition completed this cycle. The new release changes the
SONAME, changed from the "changed" signal to "notify" as well as the
function signature, and drops suspend support (which systemd now handles).
This means nearly all packages that use upower will need changes.

A number of upstreams already have fixes (gnome, xfce, mate, cairo-dock,
and telepathy) but a few packages need work. If anyone involved with sugar
or kde could let me know the status, that would be great.

The bug report is at https://launchpad.net/bugs/1330037 .

wmbattery will need removal, as it is orphaned and broken with new linux
anyway
