I didn't exactly go out of my way to announce it, more sort of mentinoed it in passing on a thread on the pm-utils mailing list. The actual announcement will come later tonight. > I'm not sure whether going for this is the right idea, as opposed > to back-porting the change quoted above, because I'm not sure > the impact the auto-quirk change will have. Well, the whole 1.1 -> 1.2 transition is fairly large, and most of the current debian patches will need to be rewritten or junked to work with it. I have been running it on my laptop since I started coding it, but I don't have much of an idea about who else has been -- feedback on the pm-utils list is sparse. My real feedback and testing mostly comes from debian sid, but the latest revisions have not been picked up by sid yet. The auto-quirk changes are actually not that invasive -- they will not affect anything when pm-utils is invoked bu HAL, for example, and all the actual auto-quirk code is contained in the 00auto-quirk hook. The auto backend stuff is much more invasive, but it was written to make these sorts of issues harder to create. The much more invasive thing is the hook reordering, but that will make suspend/resume seem to be much faster due to most of the time consuming parts of resume happening after we switch back to X or the active console. > Do you have any opinion on this?

If people are willing to test things out, 1.2.2.1 will be in debian experimental shortly, and the .deb itself should install seamlessly into Ubuntu. > Thanks, > > James > -- Victor Lowther Ubuntu Certified Professional -- suspend button disappears after pm-utils upgraded to 1.1.2.4-1ubuntu2 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/267141 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
