Battery update

Battery update

[Chong Yidong]

The Linux kernel developers have deprecated the longstanding /proc/acpi
interface, which breaks battery.el on recent kernels (bug#643 and
bug#660).  Now, the battery information is supposed to come through
sysfs.

Even though it's the feature freeze, I think it's necessary to ensure
that battery.el works at least at a basic level.  So, here's a patch
that adds primitive sysfs support for battery.el.  It doesn't do as much
as before, because AFAICT the new sysfs interface provides less
information than the old acpi interface (go figure).

It's lightly tested.  Could someone try this out and see if it does the
right thing?

The results are funny on my laptop (battery full, online):

Power N/A, battery Full at (-34.7% load, remaining time)

Just out of curiosity: Why is it necessary that battery.el works? Is not 
this information something that the OS normally gives the user without 
Emacs?

The OS gives the info, but does not display it.

Maybe it's a Lisp integer overflow (I'm guessing you're on a 32-bit
machine).  Does the following patch give better results?

Maybe it's a Lisp integer overflow (I'm guessing you're on a 32-bit
machine).  Does the following patch give better results?

I'm using ratpoison WM and using Emacs in full screen. (I suggest you
to try ratpoison, stumpwm or xmonad like "tiling wm"s and find "taste
of emacs" in their screen estate management. By the way, stumpwm has
its configuration in Common Lisp, and xmonad in Haskell, if that makes
a difference for you.)

There are no icons or bars or anything around. There is nothing except
Emacs' mode line to show battery information, hence battery.el. :)

Best Regards,

Emre

Maybe I did something wrong with diff & patch; this is my first

No, it was a typo in the patch.  Could you replace the line

       (if (battery-search-for-one-match-in-files
	    "/sys/class/power_supply/AC/online" "1" 0)
	   "AC"

on line 471 of the battery.el, with

       (if (battery-search-for-one-match-in-files
	    (list "/sys/class/power_supply/AC/online") "1" 0)
	   "AC"

and try again?

FWIW, I don't have a /sys/class/power_supply/AC directory, but there is
/sys/class/power_supply/ACAD.  Seems the directory has moved somewhere
between kernel 2.6.22 and 2.6.25, see

So what, we are now going to chase this elusive directory till Kingdom
Come?  I say let's stop supporting this feature until the Linux kernel
developers make up their minds about the place and shape of this
information.  Geez! that's even worse than Microsoft's zigzagging of
some APIs.

From Documentation/feature-removal.txt:

What:   ACPI procfs interface
When:   July 2008
Why:    ACPI sysfs conversion should be finished by January 2008.
        ACPI procfs interface will be removed in July 2008 so that
        there is enough time for the user space to catch up.

But I doubt that it will happen soon, though.

Emacs from CVS should probably support the latest variant of this API.

This looks OK. It fills %p in battery-mode-line-format and gives
an equal value with "acpi -b". 

Thank you. I may try to retrieve other (available) information from sysfs
interface by looking your code. I don't know if Sven has anything to
add about interface though. 

I think the interface change is thought for multi-battery systems. If battery.el
should support them, battery.el interface should also change I think,
which is, IMHO, not necessary at the moment.

Given the fix to the docstring for proc-acpi, I think we should try and
avoid making the same mistake.  I.e. drop the "new".

I use Emacs fullscreen under the Ion2 Tiling Window Manager, and it
doesn't have any "bars" and "docks" which are so popular these days. I
also use Emacs without X11 often. For me, battery.el and wireless.el are
the primary sources for me to get that information.

Define "OS". The OS is gnu/linux, not gnome or KDE -- those are
user environments. Emacs is also a user environment.
