I've written a more complete replacement and pushed the patch into the shell-collector branch on alioth. Please have a look at <URL: http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/battery-stats.git/log/?h=shell-collector >.
Some of the options are ignored, and the "minutes left" log field is blank (not quite sure how to calculate it), but the graph work. Please check it out. I hope to get this change upstream as well, either by taking over upstream or convincing upstream to revitalize the project. In the long run I propose to replace the current collector with another one not running as a daemon, but instead triggering on kernel events like power inserted / removed and suspend / resume. This way less power is spent monitoring, and the collected data will take measurement when something change. I also would like to extend the collector to collect more information about the battery, like my test package battery-status on github, and use this information to create more analysis of the battery. -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen
