Power Management Specification – getting there….

Everybody who has reviewed and commented on the power-management specification – THANKS.
I've got a pre-release here which will become version 0.1 assuming nobody finds any glaring errors.

One thing that bothers me is that I can't seem to attach a DBUS path more than once, i.e. just change the interface rather than the interface and the path. I'm pretty sure this is a limitation of the glib bindings of DBUS, which may mean the paths will have to be scoped (/org/freedesktop/PowerManagement/Inhibit) for the spec as well as the interfaces. Urh.

I've also got a crack-infested version of the spec with all the crazy stuff put back in, like Inhibit and Statistics and that sort of thing. I've uploaded a copy here and would appreciate some initial feedback before I pester the XDG list again.

Cheers!

One thought on “Power Management Specification – getting there….”

  1. I think the page with the specification has some strange encoding and I can not see it in the properly way on my browser (that is firefeox, BTW). All the inputParameter has a Squared Question marks.
