[Pkg-acpi-devel] Bug#1091773: acpi: format ETA for acpi

[Davide Manini]

Package: acpi
Version: 1.7-2
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Hello.

I wrote a patch that (IMHO) improves the reporting of the ETA in acpi 
(see for reference #975682).

Advantages:
   - Default behavior is backward compatible (same as version 1.7-1.3); 
ETA is show only if the corresponding option is activated.
   - Formatting available

New options:

   -r: show remaining time (default behavior)
   -e: show ETA
   -re: show both
   -F: format ETA according to strftime.

I'll open a merge request with the patch on salsa by tomorrow.
