- GNOME Power Manager
- A Power Manager for GNOME
+ PackageKit
+ A dbus packaging abstraction layer
-GNOME Power Manager is a GNOME session daemon that acts as a policy agent on top of
-the Project Utopia stack, which includes the kernel, hotplug, udev, and HAL. GNOME
-Power Manager listens for HAL events and responds with user-configurable reactions.
-Currently it supports UPS's, laptop batteries and AC adapters. Its goal is to be
-architecture neutral and free of polling and other hacks.
+PackageKit is a dbus abstraction layer that allows the session user to do cool
+stuff rather that worry about the underlying software package install system.
-Most of the code is actually in HAL for abstracting various power aware devices
-(UPS's) and frameworks (ACPI, PMU, APM etc.) - so the desktop parts are fairly
-lightweight and straightforward to write.
+For more information, please see http://live.gnome.org/PackageKit
-GNOME Power Manager comes in three parts:
-
- - gnome-power-manager: the manager daemon itself
- - gnome-power-preferences: the control panel program, for configuration
- - gnome-power-statistics: the statistics graphing program
-
-To build, GNOME Power Manager requires
-
- - libgnomeui-2.0
- - libglade-2.0
- - libhal-0 (from HAL 0.5.7 , 0.5.8 recommended)
- - libdbus-1 (from D-BUS 0.70 or later)
- - libdbus-glib-1 (from D-BUS 0.70 or later)
- - libnotify (from 0.3.0 or later, 0.4.3 recommended)
-
-To work properly, gnome-power-manager requires hald to be running.
