Created attachment 369650 [details, diff] kdeconnect-solid-backend.patch "For battery reporting to work you will also need to apply this patch to kdelibs" So far I've been using this via epatch_user. Applying it enables build of the solid phonepower backend unconditionally. 1) apply it anyway? 2) patch USE conditionally? 3) change the CMakeLists.txt part to make it a build option?
Is there plans for this to be integrated upstream? We usually prefer to stick to upstream where possible, especially for non-bugfix stuff such as this.
Well, I can't point you to any statement, but it sure isn't yet in kdelibs upstream because of the same reason, that it is non-bugfix sfuff. So far they have not ported it to kde frameworks 5.
+1 for including this from me.

We decided in a former kde herd meeting not to include feature patches. @Andreas Please use git.reviewboard.kde.org and link the review request back here, if it is accepted upstream we can backport it
Regrettably the situation does not appear to have changed so the patch is still unsuitable for us to carry in the main tree.
