Hello,

I'm so glad to have discovered a command that will show my laptop's
battery status from the commandline:

upower -d

Unfortunately it was tough to discover this because `man upower`
doesn't mention the -d flag.

Please update the man page to show the 4 new commandline flags.

Thanks,    - Jason

Hello Ola,
I propose to NMU upower to solve the long standing translation bug
858851 and the request for more documentation (654164). For the latter
adding the output of --help (and maybe a few words?) should solve the
primary request of the submitter.

I would prefer if you could add this to your next MU (before the
freeze), but if I don't hear from you I would upload this NMU
mid January. For 654164 I can provide you a patch, if desired.

If you have any questions do not hesitate to ask.

Greetings

       Helge

I would prefer if this patch was sent upstream to
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/upower/upower in case the translation is
still up-to-date.

Regards,
Michael

Helloi Michael,

Please go ahead and forward it to upstream. It would be great if you
could tag bug  858851 accordingly (there was no information within the
bug).

What is your stance regarding 654164?

Greetings

            Helge

I prefer if the author of a patch forwards it to upstream in case
upstream has further questions. I don't like to be a bug proxy (and a
bottle neck).

Hello Jason,

If you would like your request to be solved, please provide a patch
directly to upstream. (I can help you in case you don't know how to
create the patch).

Once you resolve this documentation update with upstream please inform
this bug about it.

Thanks and greetings

            Helge
