HAL-0.5.4 lists Python as an optional package, however it seems to be
required.
Indeed, this is correct. Good timing with the report as I was already
going to update HAL and juggle the GNOME-Python run-time dependency to
another section and define what all it takes to build it. I'll move
Python to required as well.
While you are at it, please also configure HAL so that it uses the
"comment=managed" keyword in /etc/fstab and mounts VFAT correctly for
non-ISO-8859-1 users. Suggested lines in 10-storage-policy.fdi:
...
<match key="info.udi" string="/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer">
<merge key="storage.policy.default.mount_root"
type="string">/media</merge>
<merge key="storage.policy.default.use_managed_keyword"
type="bool">true</merge>
<merge key="storage.policy.default.managed_keyword.primary"
type="string">comment=managed</merge>
<merge key="storage.policy.default.managed_keyword.secondary"
type="string">kudzu</merge>
<merge key="storage.policy.default.mount_option.noauto"
type="bool">true</merge>
<merge key="storage.policy.default.mount_option.users"
type="bool">true</merge>
<merge key="storage.policy.default.mount_option.exec"
type="bool">true</merge>
<merge
key="storage.policy.default.mount_option.iocharset=[replaceme]"
type="bool">true</merge>
<merge key="storage.policy.default.mount_option.codepage=[replaceme]"
type="bool">true</merge>
</match>
...
When the UTF-8 book gets merged, you can add a link to the fstab page in
LFS for discussion of iocharset and codepage. But such options are not
UTF-8 specific.
