[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] transition: upower

[Andreas Henriksson]

Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian.org at packages.debian.org
Usertags: transition

Filing this mostly as a placeholder for tracking purposes.

Bug reports has been filed for users of the C library API, see:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?tag=upower-1.0;users=pkg-utopia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org

>From a transition point, those are pretty much done.
(Sponsor gnome-applets sourceful upload, temporarily remove wmbattery,
NMU cairo-dock-plug-ins disabling the upower backend which is only a fallback,
binNMU the rest.)

What remains unknown is how DBus users will be affected by this transition.
For example parts of the functionality (duplicated logind functionality mostly)
is no longer provided by the new UPower.
This query is probably useful to spot users of the DBus API:

The new upower has been sitting in experimental around 4 months now.
So far noone has got in contact about potential upgrade issues in their
packages.
I'm filing this bug report so that I can send out a call for people
to please verify there's no problem on their side and if there is they
can file a bug against their own package and set it as a blocker for
this bug report.
