The UPower package provides an interface for enumerating power devices, listening to device events and querying history and statistics. Any application or service on the system can access the org.freedesktop.UPower service via the system message bus.
This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS 11.3 platform.

User Notes: https://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/upower
Enable the following options in the kernel configuration and recompile the kernel if necessary:
General Setup --->
[*] Namespaces support ---> [CONFIG_NAMESPACES]
[*] User namespace [CONFIG_USER_NS]First, remove an unneeded dependency from a test:
sed '/parse_version/d' -i src/linux/integration-test.py
Install UPower by running the following commands:
mkdir build &&
cd build &&
meson --prefix=/usr \
--buildtype=release \
-Dgtk-doc=false \
-Dman=false \
.. &&
ninja
To test the results, issue: LC_ALL=C ninja test. Some checks may not pass due to missing files. Test suite should be run from a local GUI session started with dbus-launch.
Now, as the root user:
ninja install
