udisks1 seems to be deprecated in favor of udisks2. xfce4-power-manager uses udisks for spinning down disks with Drive(un)SetAllSpindownTimeouts after asking for permissions with policykit from org.freedesktop.udisks.drive-set-spindown This should be replace with the udisks2 equivalents
+1, last UDisks1 release was over year ago and git branch is nearly dead too. Final UDisks2 is out and this is the only component in Xfce requiring the old version.
(In reply to comment #0) > This should be replace with the udisks2 equivalents (latest) gnome-disk-utility should have spindown support to look example from: https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-disk-utility/ http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/gnome-disk-utility/ likely related too for conversion: http://udisks.freedesktop.org/docs/latest/gdbus-org.freedesktop.UDisks2.Drive.html#gdbus-property-org-freedesktop-UDisks2-Drive.Configuration it's the apm settings that control spindown (thanks to people in #systemd for hinting to right direction)
yes, as 2013-jun this is the only package that I have that requiere explicity udisks1 in fact e17 , udiskie, libfm and THIS are the only ones that explicity need udisks1 in my distro what is the status of this feature request actually??
Is it fixed?
From xfce4-power-manager-1.3.0: $ grep -r -i udisks * README: - UDisks 1.0.0 or above (optional). src/xfpm-disks.c: action_id = "org.freedesktop.udisks.drive-set-spindown"; src/xfpm-disks.c: "org.freedesktop.UDisks", src/xfpm-disks.c: "/org/freedesktop/UDisks", src/xfpm-disks.c: "org.freedesktop.UDisks"); No, it's not fixed. Still using UDisks1 instead of UDisks2 for spinning down the disks. Been the only package using UDisks1 on my system for past ~2 years.
We've removed the spin-down feature from xfpm, so this won't be fixed.
