Re: heads up: work needed on upower?

[Andreas Henriksson <andreas@fatal.se>]

Hello Robert Millan!

Not sure what you're saying... I have no clue about BSD.

Things seems to work fine on FreeBSD however.... Maybe you can
find something of value here (where they apparenty put the work
on packaging GNOME 3.12 for FreeBSD, including UPower 0.99.x):
http://www.marcuscom.com:8080/viewvc/viewvc.cgi/marcuscom/ports-experimental/trunk/sysutils/upower/

I don't know how to FreeBSD ports work, but the only patch I can find
(under files) is very trivial so things must have improved since
upower upstream sent their call for help....

I spotted that the Debian experimental build of upower has failed
on kfreebsd...

Looks like a missing #include <stdint.h> or something like that, no?
