Hi all, The first pass of HAL-0.5.4 has been committed to BLFS. I do have some issues that required some input from the group:
1. I'm passing the --retain-privileges option to the hald daemon program in the bootscript. I cannot see how the magic auto-updates to the /etc/fstab file can take place without it. Am I wrong here? 2. Using the --retain-privileges option means that the daemon runs as the root user. At this point, I don't really see the need to create the haldaemon user and group. Anyone have a different opinion here? 3. I don't list any configuration steps or examples of modifying default policy. If anyone can provide examples of needed configuration, I'll be happy to update the book. 4. It is difficult to test HAL right now, as apparently the LFS book UDEV/HOTPLUG installation is broken. LFS needs to be updated. 5. I'm recommending that the usb.ids file be downloading from linux-usb.org. Apparently HAL will use this file if it is installed. Right or wrong? Thanks in advance for any additional input about HAL. -- Randy rmlscsi: [GNU ld version 2.15.94.0.2 20041220] [gcc (GCC) 3.4.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.4] [Linux 2.6.10 i686] 22:41:00 up 6 days, 7:05, 3 users, load average: 0.00, 0.03, 0.20 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
