RFS: gnome-session-shutdown

[Jacopo Lorenzetti <jacopol@cyan.xubiq.com>]

Hi all,

I am looking for a sponsor for the new package "gnome-session-shutdown",
of which I am the upstream author.

It is a clone of the "shutdown" command that will gracefully end the
GNOME session before bringing the system down.

It makes possible to easily bring the system down from a terminal (or
from within a script) with a "shutdown"-like syntax, closing all the
GNOME applications and ending the GNOME session in a safe way instead of
just terminating the display manager, without requiring root privileges.

"gnome-session-shutdown" tries to replicate as much as possible the
behavior of the "shutdown" command, but will trigger the shutdown via
the GNOME session manager D-Bus interface (like "gnome-session-quit"
does) instead of just issuing a SIGTERM signal to all processes.

 * Package name    : gnome-session-shutdown
   Version         : 1.82-1
   Upstream Author : Jacopo Lorenzetti <jacopol@cyan.xubiq.com>
 * URL             : https://launchpad.net/gnome-session-shutdown
 * License         : GPL
   Section         : gnome

It builds those binary packages:

  gnome-session-shutdown - Shutdown command for the GNOME desktop
environment
