Package: acpi Version: 1.4-2 Severity: wishlist Hi,
Consider this commit from the Linux-2.6 tree: commit 7faa144a518c456e2057918f030f50100144ccc6 Author: Alexey Starikovskiy <[email protected]> Date: Fri Mar 27 22:23:52 2009 -0400 ACPI: battery: add power_{now,avg} properties to power_class ACPI has smart batteries, which work in units of energy and measure rate of (dis)charge as power, thus it is not appropriate to export it as a current_now. Current_now will still be exported to allow for userland applications to match. Signed-off-by: Alexey Starikovskiy <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <[email protected]> Thus Linux 2.6.30 exports both power_now and current_now containing the same value. However, the latter is not correct and will get deprecated sooner or later, so please start preferring (reading) the former. Thanks, Feri. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.1 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable'), (50, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.30-rc5 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
