The 0.12.x packages [1] are still tagged as unstable. Maybe it would a
good idea to change that.

Sounds great. Now I only need one of those new shiny Core Duo laptops
*dreaming*

I guess this means that I will start packaging s2ram as soon as time
permits. I'm one of those who need the acpi_sleep=... so I will give it
a try as soon as I have working packages.
Is there currently only a CVS checkout available? I couldn't find a
downloadable tarball on the give URL?


Two more points that I think would be really great for powersave-0.13:

* Make properties overrideable by the user. E.g. it should be possible
that the user can set what happens on a lid close event in kpowersave or
any other graphical client. It still should be possible to lock down
certain features through powersaved.

* A KCM module for kcontrol as a replacement/complement for the YaST
module. This would make all of us non SuSEs happy ;-)
Maybe I'll give it a try myself. Depends on the amount of spare time I have.

Cheers,
Michael
