Re: [arch-general] [arch-dev-public] Anyone want to maintain acpid?
For some reason, I am assigned as a maintainer for acpid, but I never actually touched it. It is out of date and has a number of bugs. Any takers?
I though this had been deprecated for years? Are there still some relevant use cases? If so, there is a new version in AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=33871.
People still use it. What has been deprecated is the /proc/acpi/event interface.
Though, most acpi events are now translated to input events.
Even when they are, acpid still has its use to handle these events on a system level, no matter if you have a user session (*DE) running or if you even have X running. My use case is to handle the suspend and hibernate buttons. -- дамјан

Yup, I use acpid for suspend functions bound to button and lid events as well as running scripts depending if on ac or power. -- Jason Steadman http://www.meyithi.com/ http://twitter.com/meyithi
