Note that I'm not against a news item in the short term; what I am suggesting with mix-ins is even a step before that, but that's something only achievable in the long term and of course not now. So, yes, please write and send a news item out as soon as possible. > The article in GMN doesn't provide clear instructions on what needs to > be done, and refers to 0.99.0 when the issue impacts 0.9.23 as well. Besides that, a longer title would help; currently it reads to me like "X update", which means that if I don't care about X or don't know X that I'm very likely to skip it. Mentioning systemd somewhere in there, as well as "transition"; could help with drawing attention to it. But given a news item, this GMN entry would become less important; regardless, it can help for those that manage to skip reading the item. > This has already hit stable.

Ehm, no, version 0.9.23-r3 controls that with a systemd USE flag; in comparison, 0.99.0 mainly wants you to run it with systemd: 26 May 2014; Samuli Suominen <ssuomi...@gentoo.org> upower-0.99.0.ebuild: This release is mainly for use with sys-apps/systemd because upstream removed support for sys-power/pm-utils completely from git master. The 0.9 branch is for sys-power/pm-utils use. Adjust ebuild accordingly. Though I'm a bit confused why 0.99.0 doesn't list a systemd dependency; I thought it had one, but maybe it is in another package I'm unaware of. -- With kind regards, Tom Wijsman (TomWij) Gentoo Developer E-mail address : tom...@gentoo.org GPG Public Key : 6D34E57D GPG Fingerprint : C165 AF18 AB4C 400B C3D2 ABF0 95B2 1FCD 6D34 E57D
