GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 482680
battery applet should go away
Last modified: 2020-11-06 19:56:32 UTC
We've been shipping gnome-power-manager as part of the desktop release for a while now (since 2.16 I think?). We should drop the battery applet from gnome-applets.
The applet also works on FreeBSD, iirc. Is FreeBSD's HAL complete enough to handle gnome-power-manager? If it is, the applet should die.
Yes, HAL works on FreeBSD and Solaris.
Ping?
All applets will be reviewed in the 2.30/3.0 time-frame. As it stands the maintenance required for the applet is negligible and I believe there are still some people who prefer it to the gnome-power-manager version, so doing anything now is just too much trouble.

Sorry, missed the first request for info. The review never happened since I'd intended to do it and work issues overtook my free time before it could occur.
bugzilla.gnome.org is being replaced by gitlab.gnome.org. We are closing all old bug reports in Bugzilla which have not seen updates for many years. If you can still reproduce this issue in a currently supported version of GNOME (currently that would be 3.38), then please feel free to report it at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-applets/-/issues/ Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
