You probably mean DeviceKit-power. :-) Well, in git master we've already changed the dbus interface name and a lot of internal symbols. I intend to do some more renaming and porting in the next few days, but with the intention of keeping the old devkit library (that things like gdm, g-s-d and others are using) API and ABI stable, and introducing a new library, libupower which uses the right names. By shipping both versions of the library we can wait for distros to pull new DeviceKit-power packages and then we can switch over users of the library to using libupower in their own time. I'll then propose to bump the external dep of DeviceKit-power in GNOME to the new version, and then we can go on converting packages (g-s-d etc) in git master. When enough time has passed (one cycle?) we can nuke the old devkit library. The next release of DeviceKit-power will still be called DeviceKit-power-$version, but the subsequent releases will be upower-$version, which can just obsolete DK-p as the new project provides the old library. I'll do this slowly to ensure the distros have as little pain as possible.
