yes, only from CVS now. We should do a release, now that the biggest
changes are done, but our schedule is pretty tight right now :-(

Until then, use:
 - powersave CVS HEAD
 - kpowersave CVS DBUS_INTEGRATION branch (this is actually where the
   DBUS work took place and it will be merged back into HEAD, but right
   now it is the latest and greatest).

cool.
Powersave HEAD may have rough edges building, but if it builds, it
should run just fine :-)

We now use HAL to acquire battery info.
The communication with the clients (kpowersave etc) is done via DBUS
now, we got rid of the socket interface.
We also made acpid mandatory for both powersave and hal to dispatch the
ACPI events, so the problem of many processes competing for
/proc/acpi/event is mostly solved (powersaved can still access
/proc/acpi/event, but it does not fallback from acpid to /proc, it just
waits for acpid to reappear). Danny can tell you more about the hal
stuff (hal also has to wait for acpid to reappear and not grab
/proc/acpi/event), but IIUC most of those patches are submitted back
upstream.
