    Phoronix: UPower 1.0 Steps Closer To Reality With v0.99.5 Update

    The last update to UPower -- what was formerly known as DeviceKit-Power for serving as an abstraction library to battery/power devices -- was in February of 2016 but that finally changed today...

    Damn, you sure love the smell of napalm in the morning, do you?

        Probably "it's good, but depends on systemd, so I'm never going to use it"

          At least systemd's suspend / resume handlers have never left my laptop awake after I've closed the lid. Unlike UPower before systemd. Upower before systemd was a horribly broken pile of crap. Often I'd open my laptop and find it had been continuously awake, just repeatedly logging useless g_assert failures from UPower.

          Hint to developers everywhere: if your code hits an error HANDLE IT.

            Oh I so much agree with you. I fucking hate silent crashes.

              Actually it doesn't. Not that you said otherwise.

                It does depend on systemd (logind?), for suspend/hibernate functionality. pm-utils support was removed in 0.99 series.
