Summary: battery plasmoid uses deprecated /proc/acpi files
Product: plasma
Version: unspecified
Platform: Compiled Sources
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: widget-battery
AssignedTo: panel-devel kde org
ReportedBy: StormByte gmail com
Version: svn (using Devel)
Installed from: Compiled sources
OS: Linux
I want to post this bug not as a real bug, but as a warning.
I realized that battery plasmoid uses the deprecated /proc/acpi files to get its informations about battery. As I can see in config screen of kernel, this is considered deprecated (at least in 2.6.24).
So I suggest starting to be prepared for future /sys interface (/sys/bus/acpi/) if possible in case this dissapears from kernel's code not having this program useless.
What about it? If you already know about this issue, I'm sorry, I just wanted to let you know
