New version.
Also, the page needs to be updated for many reasons:
* PolicyKit and ConsoleKit should be promoted from optional deps to
recommended deps. At least, that's how CBLFS does it...
* The sed is no longer needed if you are using parted.
* It appears that CBLFS passes --enable-parted, --enable-policykit,
--enable-consolekit, --enable-acl-management, and --enable-umount-helper.
Should we look in to these?
* hal-info is now at 20090716.
* There are some major changes in the configuration. They follow:
* Since 2.6.23-rc9 (i.e. many versions ago), the slow-vfat plobrem
seems to be fixed now. So usefree is not needed for vfat devices anymore.
English users (like me) would breath a sigh of relif.
* Someone created a patch (attached, rediffed aganst newer XFCE) that
allows you to specify mount options for XFCE devices. See
[http://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2891#c19] for more info. So
that's one of the reasons that XFCE should be in the book again.
Note: attched patch fixes that and another HAL issue: HAL throws cryptic
messages at you when you eject the CDrom drive. Also, the file for
configuring XFCE mount options is $XFCE_PREFIX/share/xfce4/mount.rules. A
sample version follows (from the ticket):
{{{
[vfat]
mount_options=shortname=mixed;uid=;utf8;umask=077;exec;flush
# mount_options=shortname=mixed;uid=;utf8;umask=077;exec;usefree
# Sometimes, adding a 'usefree' option is required due to bugs in the
kernel.
# See: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/133567
[udf]
mount_options=uid=;exec
[ntfs-3g]
mount_options=locale=;exec
[ntfs]
mount_options=umask=222;utf8;exec
fstype_override=ntfs-3g
[iso9660]
mount_options=uid=;utf8;exec
[hfs]
mount_options=uid=
}}}
So, what do you think?
