No, nobody is actively working on it, it's the abandoned upstream git branch that used to be master before 0.99.0's release: Current sys-power/upower-pm-utils is same as latest code from http://cgit.freedesktop.org/upower/log/?h=0.9 And last commit is 2013 I might backport some fixes from git master over at some point later, but I won't do any promises > Or > is it a git branch created just to meet the current needs of > non-systemd Gentoo users? > > It's to be considered as a temporary solution for applications that need the Hibernate and Suspend functionality from UPower for non-systemd users, applications like mate-session-manager, lxsession, uevt, and so forth Migrating to >=sys-power/upower-0.99.0 is the recommended path to take if at all possible. It's possible for eg. Xfce users, because Xfce in ~arch integrated sys-power/pm-utils support directly for Hibernate and Suspend Also, GNOME 3.12 requires 0.99.0 - Samuli
