           Summary: battery plasmoid uses deprecated /proc/acpi files

           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
